Landmarks

“Remove not the ancient land marks, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28)

Years ago the removal of the old landmarks identifying property lines and roads was a serious crime. Their removal or just moving them could cause travelers to lose their way and be lost. It could be the cause of unnecessary disputes.

There are landmarks of the Christian faith, the removal of which may cause a traveler on life’s journey on life’s journey to be lost. The landmarks of the Christian faith include these:

  • The Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. God is its author. It is truth without any mixture of error.
  • All the miracles recorded in the Bible, including the virgin birth of Christ and His resurrection, are accurate as written.
  • The blood atonement of Christ is both necessary and sufficient for man’s salvation.
  • The literal, visible return of Christ at a time unknown to man including the bodily resurrection of the saved, who have died before His return, and the rapture of the Christians who are still alive on earth immediately after the resurrection of the dead in Christ.
  • A literal hell for those who have rejected Christ and a literal heaven for those received Him in this life.
  • Salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us accept, believe, guard and respect the landmarks of the Christian faith.
