In the beginning was Jesus (a.k.a. The Word), and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Jesus was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2)
There are Three who were present in the beginning: The Father, Jesus The Son, and The Holy Spirit; and These Three are One God. (1 John 5:7) Jesus created the heavens and the earth. (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2) On the first day God made light. (Genesis 1:3) On the second day God made the sky or atmosphere. (Genesis1:6) On the third day God made the plants and trees. (Genesis 1:11) On the fourth day God made the sun, moon, and stars. (Genesis 1:16) On the fifth day God made great whales, sea animals, and birds. (Genesis 1:20-21) On the sixth day God made the land animals, including dinosaurs* and man. (Genesis 1:24 & 27; Job 40:15-17*) The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was completed in six days by Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:31 & 2:1; John 1:3) God gave plants and animals the ability to reproduce, only after their own kind. (Genesis 1:11-28) Birds are not the offspring of dinosaurs and man is not the offspring of apes. The theory of evolution is false. (1) God created man in His own image and likeness; one male named Adam and one female named Eve. (Genesis 1:27) God has made through Adam and Eve all nations and races of man to live on the earth. (Acts 17:26) Everyone has brown skin. (2) When Adam sinned by disobeying God, death passed to all men. (Romans 5:12) That’s why it is appointed to man to die once, and after this the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) Since man dies only once, reincarnation is false. (3) God sent His Son Jesus from heaven to earth to save the world from sin. (John 12:47) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Jesus, being born of a virgin, became human and lived among us. God was with us in human flesh. (Matthew 1:23; John 1:14) As a child Jesus was obedient to His mother Mary and His adoptive father Joseph. (Luke 2:51) Joseph did not have sex with Mary until after Jesus was born. (Matthew 1:25) Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters, which were born of Mary and Joseph. (Matthew 13:55-57; 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21; Acts 1:13-14; Galatians 1:19) Mary was not a perpetual virgin. (Matthew 1:25) Jesus was in the world, and the world was made by Jesus, but people did not know Jesus as God. (John 1:10) At age 30 Jesus began to heal the sick, raise the dead, and feed the hungry. (Luke 3:23; Matthew 11:5; John 6:5-14) Jesus also walked on the sea, cast out demons, and calmed storms. (Mark 6:47-50;Mark 1:23-28;Mark 4:35-41;Mt.14:22-31) Jesus preached to many saying, The Lord Our God is one Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. And in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. (Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 7:12) Jesus also said, Repent (change your mind, turn from your sins and turn to God), because The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15) Jesus forgave sins! (Matthew 9:2-6; Mark 2:5-10) Young children and infants were brought to Jesus, that he might bless them. Jesus said, let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:13-16) It is the parents responsibility to introduce their children to The Lord Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 22:6) Jesus always obeyed God The Father, even to the death on the cross. (Philippians 2:8) Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day as prophesied and recorded in the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) After Jesus rose from the dead, many people saw Him, touched Him, and talked with Him. Jesus was seen by more than five hundred of His followers at the same time. (1 Corinthians 15:5-8) They watched as Jesus ascended back into heaven. (Acts 1:9) Jesus promised to return and take all who believe in Him to heaven. There they will enjoy their new perfect bodies, and will be with the Lord forever. (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;1 Corinthians 15) All who believe in The Lord Jesus Christ have everlasting life. All who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be cast into the lake of fire (hell), prepared for the devil and his angels. (John 3:36; Matthew 25:41) There shall be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12) What good will it be if you gain the whole world, and lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? (Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36; Luke 9:25) The invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even Gods eternal power and Godhead, so that you are without excuse. (Romans 1:20) Do not be deceived. For by Gods grace you have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, and not from anything you have done or not done. Salvation is a free gift from God not a reward or payment for doing good works, lest anyone should boast or brag. (Ephesians 2:8-9) A man is not justified (saved) by doing the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. For by the works of the law no man shall be justified (saved). (Galatians 2:16) For if righteousness (salvation) comes through the law, i.e. keeping the ten commandments and/or doing good works, then Jesus Christ died in vain. (Galatians 2:21) Jesus was asked, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered and said, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom God has sent.” (John 6:28-29) Jesus was also asked, How can we know the way? Jesus answered, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one comes to THE FATHER, but by ME.” (John 14:6) Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. (Acts 16:31) QUESTION: Who raised Jesus from the dead? A) God The Father B) Jesus C) The Holy Spirit D) All of the above E) None of the above God The Father raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 10:9), Jesus raised Himself from the dead (John 2:19-21; John 10:17-18), and The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11). The answer is D) All of the above! Jesus did many other miracles, which are not written here. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of God, and that by believing in Him, you may have everlasting life. (John 20:30-31) |
