Seven great “Ones,” Eph. 4:4-6 Simple, consistent Bible truth Solid ground

Many reject the seven ones Have faith in any god Various hopes in the afterlife If they believe in one faith, usually the wrong one

One faith, just as one body, Eph. 4:4-6; Gal. 1:23 The truth, The Word, 2 Tim. 3:7, 8; Acts 13:7, 8 Saves, Jn. 17:17, 19; 1 Pt. 1:22

One faith, once delivered, Jude 3 From the one God, 1 Cor. 2:6-11 By the one Spirit sent by the one Lord, 2 Pt. 1:20, 21; Jn. 16:13 Includes all things, 2 Pt. 1:3 No additional revelation, 1 Cor. 13:8-12

We can understand the faith, Jn. 8:32 Know as apostles, Eph. 3:3, 4 God’s will, 1 Tim. 2:4 God’s command, Eph. 5:17

Therefore, we can take action Can be obeyed, Acts 6:7; Rom. 16:26 Can be established in it, Col. 2:7 Can stand fast in it, 1 Cor. 16:13 Can be strengthened in it, Acts 16:5

Therefore, we can take action Can examine self in relation to it, 2 Cor. 13:5 Can continue in it, Acts 14:22 Can resist the devil in it, 1 Pt. 5:9

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Not everything taught is of the one faith, Gal. 1:6-9 We must reject those who do not bring the one faith, 2 Jn. 9-11

We are to have no other mind, Gal. 5:10 The one faith is in Christ alone, Eph. 4:21

Once faithful, but fall away Marriage & diet, 1 Tim. 4:1-5 Family & responsibilities, 1 Tim. 5:8 Material possessions, 1 Tim. 6:10 Profane & idle babblings, 1 Tim. 6:20, 21 Attitudes & morality, 2 Tim. 3:1-8 Doctrine, 2 Tim. 4:2-5

Today: men reject the one faith One God: atheist, Hindu, Psa. 14:1 One Savior: Jew, Buddhist, Acts 4:12 One Baptism: symbolic only, Mk. 16:16 One Church: many churches, Eph. 1:22, 23 One form of musical worship, Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16 One cause of divorce & remarriage, Mt. 19:9
