There is an almighty God who we should fear and give glory to. A God who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. A God who is perfect, just in all his ways and rich in mercy.
God created man in His own image and with His own likeness. We were the showpieces of His creation, the culmination of all created beings. No other creatures were given such similarity to deity – only mankind. Just flesh and bones but made in the image and likeness of God.
As a result of Adam’s decision to rebel in the garden of Eden, we are all sinners by nature and choice, and have fallen short of the Glory of God. The ‘wages’ of sin is death. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment, the destruction of our body and soul in hell. But even though you’ve sinned, long ago God devised a plan to save and redeem you.
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. A ‘spotless lamb’ in which there was no sin, the perfect sacrifice or substitute to take our place. This is the gift of God.
After three days and three nights, Jesus was resurrected and exalted to High Priest, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. God recorded all this in the Holy Bible, which God gave to us through the hands of his various chosen prophets, as both a love poem and an instruction book for life. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Jesus Christ promised that all those who believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. To be raised up; the righteous, unto the resurrection of life; and the wicked, unto the resurrection of damnation. This belief is not to be confused with a mere mental belief, but a complete humbling of yourself and a coming to the realisation that only through Christ can you be redeemed, and that Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to the Father but by Him. It is total surrender to Him as both Lord and Saviour. It is having absolute trust in and living by every word of God.
If you put your faith in Christ, His promises, and His teachings; you will inherit salvation unto everlasting life. With this salvation comes spiritual rebirth; you are gifted the Holy Ghost which will compel you to surrender to Christ as Lord, repent from your sins, obey the commandments of God, to spread the Gospel, to be baptised for the remission of sins and to regularly celebrate the Lord’s supper. Having personally experienced the grace of God in Jesus, a believer trusts God as Creator, Christ as Saviour, and the Holy Ghost as Helper. Christ rewires every aspect of our lives so that the life and power of Jesus flows in us. That is what salvation is, and it goes on forever.
God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. It is He that has decided to draw you to Him. God is greater than all and no man can pluck you out of His hand, only you can willingly walk away.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, have been cast out from heaven for their choice to rebel against to God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it seems like it is each other. For Satan works in the hearts and minds of all who are disobedient to God. But fear not, for God is with us always, even unto the end. It is His good pleasure to give us, as His “little flock”, the kingdom.
Those who are poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who mourn shall be comforted. Those who are meek shall inherit the earth. Those who hunger for righteousness shall be filled. Those who are merciful shall obtain mercy. Those who are pure in heart shall see God. Those who are peacemakers shall be called children of God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who have been reviled, persecuted falsely, and spoken of in all manner of evil for the sake of Jesus shall be blessed. So, rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
On that faithful day God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things will have passed away. We that overcame shall inherit all things; and God shall dwell with us as Father, and we shall be His sons.
As a result of Adam’s decision to rebel in the garden of Eden, we are all sinners by nature and choice, and have fallen short of the Glory of God.
How is it just to punish all subsequent generations for the wrongdoing of Adam and Eve?
After three days and three nights, Jesus was resurrected
So, God sacrificed himself to himself to absolve us of a sin we didn't commit and which HE decided to punish us for, and then resurrected himself after three days. How exactly was that a sacrifice and why does God require a human sacrifice in the first place?
Whoever came u with this really failed at basic logic.
What is the Gospel?
The Gospel is the good news for all…
