SALVATION
These studies follow the teaching of the consistent, self-revelation of God, given over a more than a 2,000 year period, by many different prophetic voices, in many different places, in three different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic & Greek), gathered together in a library of 66 books we call the Bible. These principles have been proved experientially precise in millions of lives over this whole period and are still, invariably, being consistently proven today.
1. God loves you – always has & always will.
In the beginning God & man were together. God had a wonderful plan for Mankind. lt began with: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesisl:28J lt was to continue on: “I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans … to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29: 11). This was to carry on for an eternity with God & man together forever.
2. But you, like all other people, are a sinner.
Unfortunately man had other ideas and decided to ignore God’s requirements to maintain the relationship. He decided to do things his own way, thus separating himself from God. “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, & death through sin, & so death spread ta all men, because all sinned.” (Romans 1 12) Unfortunately, there are no exceptions: ‘All have sinned & fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3: 23) & “The wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6: 23)
