    JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH THROUGH GOD'S AMAZING GRACE:

FIRST CENTURY GOSPEL CHURCH teaches that by GOD'S GRACE, if we GENUINELY REPENT of our sins, through FAITH, BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST as our LORD, OBEY and SURRENDER our LIFE to HIM as our SAVIOR, and are BORN AGAIN of the HOLY SPIRIT, our BLESSED LORD JESUS CHRIST gives us FULL JUSTIFICATION by FAITH in HIM AND ETERNAL SALVATION! AMEN
   
   
LOVING JESUS CHRIST:



If you [really] love Me, [the Lord Jesus Christ] you will keep (obey) My commands. Amen

(John 14:15, Amplified Bible)

 OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS  AS FREE MORAL AGENTS:

“Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and  do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock." Amen
(Deuteronomy 7:12-14, NKJV Bible)
