all men where sinners from birth (depravity of man).
Sin came into this world by a man called Adam; he ate the fruit of good and evil which was forbidden by God. He was driven away from the Garden of Eden because of his disobedience (Genesis 2:17), the same way God will not allow any one into his kingdom who is still a sinner. Therefore, sin is inherited by anybody born into this world or born of a woman.
All have sinned.
Sin is anything that is not pleasing and does not meet to the spiritual standard of God. No man can obey God’s commandment by his or her strength (Romans 3 : 23). Therefore, God had made a provision for us on the cross of Calvary, where Jesus shed his blood for the redemption and remission of sins. (John 3; 16). which makes us to be free from sin and condemnation. (Romans 6;1).
What sin does in a sinner’s life?
Sin causes spiritual death, loss of freedom and can even lead to physical death, it also causes separation from God.
People should flee from all forms of sin. To prevent the wrath of God in their lives.
In conclusion, Jesus is the only one that can forgive and cleanse all unrighteousness.

Doctrine 5- REPENTANCE
Repentance Isaiah 55:7
Adam and Eve sinned against God and did not ask God for forgiveness, they only shifted and pushed the blame from one person to another, if they had asked for forgiveness God would have allowed them to continue to stay in the Garden of Eden (proverbs 28:13). The same for a sinner who doesn’t ask God for forgiveness will also perish in hell fire.
What is Repentance?
Repentance is the act of asking God to forgive one's sin and also turning away from every known sin.
A story was told of a girl, her name was Sola who claimed to be a child of God, she gave her offerings and tithes and also dressed as a Christian, but sometimes still got angry. One day she went to a school fellowship and heard about sinners, pretenders, and the punishment of God. She felt sorrowful and confessed her sins and gave her life to Christ, this story is given credit to PST (DR) WF. KUMUYI
Jesus is the only one that assures true repentance to sinners. So, if you want to repent from your sins just call upon him and he will answer you.
stay and remain blessed.
Doctrine 6- DEPRAVITY OF MAN
Restitution (GEN 20:18)
Restitution is the act of making right the wrong done by a person. In other words, saying sorry for the past wrong done by one after given his or her life to Christ. This assures full forgiveness and true repentance of sins. This is one of the most neglected cardinal doctrines of the bible.
why? Because people are looking at the cost of practicing restitution, ignorant of the consequences of not practicing restitution.
The consequences of not practicing restitution are far larger and worse than the price or cost of persecution people think they cannot bear. People who do not restitute are likened to a situation whereby a person steals a particular woren item from a person. And goes out for evangelism and witnesses to a person whom he stole that woren item from ,lets imagine do you think that person will concentrate on what he is saying and when he or she finds out that is his or her stolen item what do we think will happen to the person preaching, the person off course will be greatly disgraced and embraced , this story or scenario means that restitution prevents embracement and disgrace even here on earth , it also gives a clear conscience and a pure heart and reputation and also spiritual image void of sin and offence, At most the person will lose everything the person is trying to keep, because he who saves his life will lose it, some people are afraid of practicing it, because they are afraid to die nobody has an excuse not to die because Jesus died a shameful death for us sinners even though he did not commit any sin, so if we must lose our life for the case of restitution then there should be no need to fear because as Christians there is a price that every Christain must pay, because we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling and make sure that nothing stops us from entering the kingdom of heaven(Philippians 2:12). Though I can agree that there are some very delicate issues or cases of restitution that require praying, and fasting, and also consultation of some spiritual leaders who preach the full gospel and doctrine of the bible. The essence of restitution cannot be over emphasized.
I will also talk about a man in the bible called Zaccheus, he was a very bad man he was a tax collector so he normally stole and defrauded many people while collecting their tax, one blessed day he heard about Jesus and wanted to see him but a very large crowd followed Jesus and Zaccheus was a very small and petite man so he could not see through the crowd , he had to climb a sycamore tree and there Jesus saw him and told him to come down ,that he was coming to his house today, he led him to his house , he got saved and said those he had defrauded he will repay four times what he defrauded them and half of his money he will give to the poor, Jesus did not have to tell Zaccheus to practice restitution before he knew he had to do it he did that to have a clear conscience and regain back a good image and reputation (Luke 19:1-10) .
In conclusion, to escape danger of hell fire and eternal destruction we have to practice faithfully restitution.
