Why do you believe what you believe?

And if someone asks you about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

- From 1 Peter 3:15 (NLT)

The Christian Basics Bible was developed to help develop a strong foundation of faith for both new believers, and those who have experience with the Church who have plateaued, or are looking to better understand the pillars that support why we believe what we believe.

Far too many Christians are confused about basic biblical truths:

  • 70% of Christians believe Jesus was the first being God created.
  • 66% of evangelical Christians say heaven is a place where ALL people will be reunited with their loved ones.
  • 54% of Christians believe everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.
