Jesus Our Hope! Because Jesus did away with the Law of Moses and replaced it with a better way, none of the Old Testament commandments or laws, including the Ten Commandments, applies to us today. It is the law of love and liberty (made perfect by Jesus' sacrifice) that was revealed by Christ and His apostles in the New Testament which we, today, are to obey. (James 1: 25). It is by our obedience to God's will through our faith in Christ that puts us into the body of Christ, His church, and makes us acceptable to God.

Differences between three different types or Mormons "A Synopsis of the Church of Christ Beliefs and Practices as Compared to Other Latter Day Saint Churches" By Sheldon, William A., "Apostle" of the Temple Lot Mormons: During the lifetime of the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., the church he founded by the direction of God underwent many changes which proved to be a factor in the division which occurred after his death in 1844. It is argued that the church is subject to change because of growth and changing times. This is only partially true.

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel Master index of 25 studies: "Determine your salvation" Lesson 18 Obedience To The Gospel After Jesus had died for our sins, was resurrected and just before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his apostles in Mark 16:15-16, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Our Lord wanted the gospel preached to everyone. The word "gospel" literally means good news or good tidings. In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek." So we see that the gospel of Christ is God's only power unto salvation. It is by the gospel or good news that God saves us. What does the Bible say that the gospel is that saves us?

Will There Be A Rapture? Thirdly, the "tribulation" often referred to is based upon an erroneous interpretation of Matthew 24.
