The first verses of the bible say; “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1v1) this was the beginning of creation, but it wasn’t the beginning of God, He is outside of time and space, He dwells in eternity. Before God created the heavens and the earth, only the spiritual realm existed, this physical world we live in was created.
How was this physical world created, you may ask, and the answer is, by God’s words, when God said, “Let there be light” His words, slung this universe into existence from the image that was inside God. Those words of creation were filled with God’s faith, He and His words are the same.
So there is a common denominator between the world of the spirit and the natural world. When God created man, He created him to be like Himself.
The book of Genesis also tells us how man gave away his ability to speak things into being, Adam bowed his need to a spiritual outlaw, satan and this broke the connection between heaven and earth. There was now no one who could connect back to heaven, the Word that linked heaven and earth was broken, and therefore the communication between God and man was also broken.
God didn’t abandon us; He puts into motion His plan of redemption, the connection between heaven and earth is restored through Jesus.
God’s plan would annihilate the devil’s grip of the law of sin and death on mankind and restore man into his rightful relationship and fellowship with his Father God.
God sent Jesus, who is “the Word” the same power tool with which He created the universe. When you receive Jesus, you become a son or daughter of God, just like Adam originally had, reconnected to your father by Jesus, the WORD.
When a person chooses to receive Jesus as Lord of their life, the bible says, they become a brand new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
It is not God’s will for anyone to spend eternity separated from Him, but this will only happen as a result of peoples own free will, by refusing to accept what Jesus has done.
Salvation is not something we deserve, nor is it something we can earn. It is a gift that was purchased and paid for by the blood of Jesus. Through the cross, God laid the punishment for our sin on Jesus so that we might have right-standing with God through faith in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus was our substitute. He took the pain, penalty, and punishment for our sin so that God could freely offer us salvation from our sin (Isaiah 53:3–5). “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Where will I spend eternity? This is a great question to ask yourself.
Has anyone ever told you that God loves you and that he has a wonderful plan for your life? If you were to die this very second, do you know for sure beyond the shadow of a doubt that you would go to heaven?
Let’s quickly look at what the Bible says about this very important subject?
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God… and the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord… and whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
You can now say; “I am now reborn! I am a Christian, a child of Almighty God! I am saved!”
