Welcome!

The church of Christ at Northfield Blvd welcomes you!

The Bible says that disciples were called "Christians" first in Antioch. (Acts 11:26)

Just as they were then, we are still simply Christians today, nothing more. After all, does there need to be more?

People sometimes ask, "What is your Creed?"

Creed? The Bible is our "creed." We use it as our only rule of faith and practice, so we will provide plenty of scripture references to support what we say.

With regard to creeds, someone once said:

"If it says more than the Bible, it says too much. If it says less than the Bible, then it does not say enough. If it says the same thing as the Bible, then it is not necessary."

Well, that just about sums it up!

Feel free to poke around our website. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. You can call us, or leave us a message on the "Contact Us" page.

By the way, we would love to have you come visit us for Bible Study or for Worship!

God's Redeemed

Written by David Bunting

Redeem [ri-DEEM]:

To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum.
To pay off.
To set free; rescue or ransom.

What does it mean to be "God's Redeemed?"

Redemption is in Jesus Christ. He offers release and deliverance from the guilt of sin, the power of sin and the consequence of sin. Without that redemption sinners are helplessly and hopelessly cut off from God. Our God and Savior “gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed” (Titus 2:14).

A ransom was paid to release sinners from the wages of their sins. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). When Jesus willingly laid down His life for mankind, His blood was shed. Jesus paid the ransom with His own blood to atone for sin. The apostle Peter reminded the elect of God that they were redeemed “with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (I Peter 1:18-19). Paul told saints in Corinth, “…You were bought at a price…” (I Corinthians 6:20). Freedom from sin came at a high price.

Jesus has entered the Holiest of All – Heaven – with His sacrificed blood, consecrating a new and living way for believers to follow (cf. Hebrews 10:19-20). The continually shedding of animals’ blood under the former covenant did not take away sins but was a reminder of sins (10:3-4). When Christ entered the Most Holy Place with His own blood, He did so “once for all” (Hebrews 9:12). He does not need to offer the same sacrifice repeatedly. He offered Himself once forever and now sits at His Father’s right hand (10:12). He obtained eternal redemption. His blood is able to cleanse sinners from dead works to serve the living God (9:14).
