n the beginning God, the only God, created everything. He made humanity, first Adam and Eve, male and female, in His image. Our purpose is to glorify Him, worship Him, and take pleasure in Him for all eternity.
However, humanity rebelled against God so that we could be our own gods and trust in ourselves rather than Him who made us. Rebellion against God is sin.
ll people sin and our self-serving hearts reflect the substitution of the Creator as God for ourselves as gods. The penalty for all sin is death in Hell and we stand condemned.
But in His great love, God sent his Son, Jesus, who is God and man, to live a perfect life and be the perfect sacrifice to take on God's wrath, paying the penalty for sin as a substitute for mankind.
urdered unjustly, Jesus was crucified and buried. Three days later He was raised from the dead, overcoming sin, death, Hell and judgment.
He now offers to anyone who believes and receives Him as King, forgiveness of all sin, the right to become children of God, a place in Heaven with Him and the Holy Spirit as a Helper now.
