"Naniniwala na ako kay Cristo, bakit kailangan ko pang hanapin at umanib sa iisa at tunay na Iglesia Ni Cristo?"

"Naniniwala na ako kay Cristo,
 bakit kailangan ko pang hanapin 
at umanib sa iisa at tunay na Iglesia Ni Cristo?"

Kung ang tao ang magbabayad ng kanyang mga kasalanan, makababayad siya ngunit hindi siya maliligtas.  Kung si Cristo naman ang magbabayad ng kasalanang ginawa ng tao, labag naman sa batas ng Diyos na kung sino ang nagkasala ay siyang dapat mamatay.  Kaya't upang mailigtas ni Cristo ang mga tao ng ayon sa batas ng Diyos, nilalang ni Cristo ang Kanyang sarili at mga ililigtas Niya na isang taong bago.  Si Cristo ang lumagay na ulo upang managot, at ginawa Niyang katawan Niya ang mga ililigtas upang Kanyang mapanagutan.  Sa harapan ng Diyos, iisa nang tao si Cristo at ang mga taong ililigtas Niya.

The Iglesia ni Cristo rapid global expansion

The Iglesia ni Cristo 
rapid global expansion

AS FORETOLD IN the propheicies of God written in the Holy Scriptures, the Church  of Christ that reemerged in the Philippines in the Far East in 1914, would reach the Far West and spread in different nations worldwide. The fulfillment of these prophecies began with the establishment of  the first locale outside the Philippines. 

TRANSCENDING    PHILIPPINE shores, the   Iglesia   ni   Cristo  launched its mission overseas in 1968 coinciding with its 54th year of   establishment.    Brother  Erano G. Manalo, barely five  years  at  the helm as Executive Minister of the Church, set out to foreign land on a  missionary journey that resulted in the establishment of two pioneering congregations in the Far West—first in Honolulu,Hawaii on July 27 and then in  San Francisco, California, on August 18, 1968.

The Iglesia ni Cristo as biblical prophecies attest

The Iglesia ni Cristo as biblical prophecies attest

Members of the Church of Christ maintain that the testimonies in the Bible attesting that the Church where they belong is truly of God and that they are indeed the ones He has set apart for Himself to serve and worship Him in these last days are firm and strong. As historical accounts in the Bible show, it has been God's policy since the beginning to set apart people whom He gives the exclusive privilege of being His servants. Every time a chosen generation of people would turn away from God, He chooses and sets apart a new group of people in place of the old. Thus, when the first-century Church of Christ fell into apostasy after the death of the apostles, God set apart another group of people to become His chosen servants. They are the members of the Church of Christ in these last days, as biblical prophecies attest.

Why we firmly believe that Brother Felix Y. Manalo is God's Messenger

Why we firmly believe that Brother Felix Y. Manalo is God's Messenger

THE GROWING PUBLIC skepticism and ambivalence toward organized religions—and religious preachers in 
particular—may be partly due to the embarrassments some of these self-described prophets have caused their
constituents. Take for instance the sexual abuse perpetrated by not a few "men of the cloth”, the bold yet foolish
predictions of some messianic crackpots on the exact date the world would end, and outrageous pronouncements
every now and then of some self-proclaimed prophets, to cite a few.
