This month we celebrate our 25th Anniversary - We Thank the Lord for You.

We are delighted that you use the free resources available at Monergism. Our mission is to provide open access to scripturally sound and theologically rich Christian literature, ensuring cost is never a barrier to building a robust Christian library. While these resources are free to all, sustaining this ministry requires funding.

Last year, over 1 million new visitors accessed our resources. Given that less than 1% of readers donate, we humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could meet our 2024 budget in no time.

Every contribution makes a difference - whether it's a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time donation of $10, $25, $100, or more. You can also read our business plan to see how your gifts are used to further this mission.

Five Essential Doctrines (eBook)

A Monergism tract

in ePub, .mobi & ,pdf formats

The Christian faith is built on a foundation of essential truths that are rooted in the person and work of Jesus Christ. These are the bedrock truths that define who God is, who we are, and how we can be joined in fellowship with Him. In this devotional book, we'll explore five of these essential doctrines: the absolute supremacy of Holy Scripture, the doctrine of human sinfulness and corruption, the work and office of our Lord Jesus Christ, the inward work of the Holy Spirit, and the visible work of the Holy Spirit in a person.

In a world where truth is often relative and opinions are varied, the Christian faith offers a unique perspective on life, the world, and our place in it. Through these chapters, we'll gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and its authority in our lives, the sinfulness that separates us from God and our need for a savior, the work of Christ as our redeemer, and the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives as believers. We'll learn how the Holy Spirit works inwardly to transform our hearts and minds and how He works visibly through us to impact the world around us.

As we consider the different worldviews that surround us, we can find comfort in the Christian faith. Our given task is to free the captives by being a faithful witness to Christ, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords. As we love our neighbors and seek the good of our community and nation, we can remain true to our beliefs without endorsing idolatry or the rule of other deities. We can trust that by staying true to our faith, we can live a life that honors God and blesses those around us.

As we delve into these five essential doctrines, we invite you to join us on a journey of deepening your understanding of God and growing in your faith. May these truths serve not only as a foundation for our beliefs but also as a guide for how we live and interact with the world around us.
