Achievers FAITH Digest is of CEFMORSI MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL. Our concept of Faith values are multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-generational in Ministry and Ministering, and trans-denominational in Doctrine. We are unified in our diversity by our faith in whom we believe, love, serve and worship – Jesus Christ! Our Lord and Saviour King. He is our REDEMPTION.

5. The redemption from guilt, penalty and power of sin is by the grace of God and is SOLELY through Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death as our representative and substitute and as the saviour of mankind.

(iii) That he who does not believe in the only begotten Son of God is already condemned to eternal death. John 3:18-19, 1 John 5:10-13
