At Bible Baptist Church, being fundamental and Bible-believing is not just an idea, it is our practice. We have a strong Bible-based teaching ministry and believe in saturating everything we do in the Word of God.

Believing that Christians are to witness of the saving power of Jesus Christ, Bible Baptist Church practices weekly soul-winning and visitation. Our Sunday School, Bus Ministry, Nursing Home, Retirement Home and Prison Ministries are centered on declaring the Gospel message. Our bus and van volunteers provide transportation to the church, encourage and give Godly examples to some children.

Many people mistake the Bible’s emphasis upon works as a requisite to obtaining salvation. Rather than considering the Scriptures that emphatically declare that salvation is by God’s grace (Tit. 3:5; Rom. 3:21-26; Gal. 2:16), they isolate passages that record promises for those who perform labors for the Lord’s work (Lk. 19:11-26).

If salvation is conditional on man’s labor, then the sacrifice and redemption of Christ are proportionally decreased. Forgiveness of sins must not be the product of faith in Christ’s atonement in addition to man’s works because this would logically be an admission that Christ’s sacrifice is insufficient. If Christ cannot provide complete forgiveness for man’s sin, He is not deity. Jesus would no longer be “the way” (Jn. 14:6), but instead He would be the “starting point” of a journey that individuals have to endure and complete through their own efforts.

Works do have an important part in the life of a believer. Labors for our Savior allow the Christian to manifest his/her love (Jn. 14:15). It would be frustrating for a believer if he/she could not serve the Lord. True love motivates one to action (1 Cor. 13). It is the grace of God that He allows us to work for Him and thereby demonstrates our love.

Works are expected in the life of a Christian. Eph. 2:8-10 declare that salvation is by grace, and God has ordained that man should produce good works. A lack of works in a believer’s life would indicate a spiritual problem. If the fruit of the Spirit is not produced in a Christian’s life, the failure might be related to a lack of spiritual progress (Gal. 5:17-24). The works of a believer allow him/her to examine his/her life (2 Cor. 13:5).

Works are a testimony of salvation. God looks upon the heart (1 Sam. 16:7), but man can only view the outward appearance. James 2:14-20 emphasizes that a mere profession of salvation is inadequate. The life of one who has received Jesus Christ as Savior will be evidenced by a transformation (2 Cor. 5:17). Spiritual maturity should come with time, but a change in attitude and direction should also be evident in the life of a Christian. Salvation is by the grace of God alone. Works are necessary in the life of a believer for him/her to enjoy the blessings of God. Works provide a testimony of the power of God to redeem and radically change the life of a person. Our world needs to see Christians who manifest such a testimony.
