Biblical Truths According to the NKJV
The New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible reveals essential truths about God, humanity, and salvation. Here are foundational biblical truths:
1. The Nature of God
- God is One: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!" (Deuteronomy 6:4)
- God is Love: "And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." (1 John 4:16)
- God is Holy: "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.'" (1 Peter 1:15-16)
2. The Word of God
- Scripture is Inspired: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)
- God's Word Endures Forever: "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." (Isaiah 40:8)

- Salvation by Grace: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- Confession and Belief: "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
