God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit make up the Trinity. The word of God is completely accurate and true in all its precepts. The church is God's feet, eyes, and mouth for reaching the world for Jesus Christ. Acts 1:8 gives us God's strategy to reach our world for Christ. The only way to Heaven is to place your trust in Christ alone for eternal life.
