Christian Essentials

What are the essentials of the Christian faith? Listening to Alistair Begg on the 4th of July, he gave an outline that I found concise and useful:

• the authority of the Bible
• the centrality of the cross
• the necessity of second birth
• the priority of holiness in living
• the reality of Grace

Hopefully, I'll be able to spend some time expounding on these in the near future.
