There has to be a Creator.
The Creator is God. The Heavens and the Earth are so amazingly beautiful, integrated, and complex. It is impossible that they exist through random events.
God is perfect. God is true Love. All that is truly good comes from God. All truth is from God.
God is the Spiritual Light. There is no Spiritual Darkness in Him. God did not create the spiritual darkness.
There are angels that have fallen away from God
There are angels that have fallen away from God and turned to the darkness. Satan is the leader of the fallen angels. Many people in the world are being deceived buy the evil spirits that live in the darkness.
The only way to be protected from the darkness is to walk in God’s Light. God is calling us to come out of the darkness. We need to answer his call. We need to to open the door of our heart and let God’s Light come in. The spiritual darkness cannot overcome the Spiritual Light.
God’s creation has a Divine nature.
God’s creation has a Divine nature. A perfect way. One of God’s plans is to remove all spiritual darkness so that God will be all in all. After all the spiritual darkness is gone, God’s perfect way will be revealed.
God created man in His image.
God created man in His image. We are a soul and spirit living in a physical body.
Our physical body was woven together in our mother’s womb by God’s amazing way. It was created with the things of the Earth and will eventually die and return to the earth.
We are a human soul and human spirit that comes from God. The spiritual breath of life.
God gave man and woman the ability to choose.
Choosing to walk in God’s Light leads to eternal life of your soul and spirit. When you seek to walk in the Light, God’s Love will fill your heart and you will be a peace and know the truth,
Choosing to walk in the darkness results in sinful thoughts, desires and actions. This leads us to spiritual death and eternal separation of your soul and spirit from God. When you walk in the darkness, you will be deceived and led to destruction.
In God there is no darkness/sin. Sinful thoughts, desires and actions are not allowed eternal Life.
As Sinners we all deserve death and eternal separation from God.
But God is Love. And God so loved the world that He has offered us a way to Eternal Life that is based on Faith not on Works.
God has offered us a way that our sins can be forgiven and will be remembered no more.
The Faith to believe and accept God’s offer in our heart comes from hearing the message that is heard through the word about Christ.
THE MESSAGE: THE WORD ABOUT CHRIST.
Jesus is the only way.
1. Jesus was conceived by Mary and the Holy Spirit. (God)
2. God is in Jesus. He is God.
3. “He” has been there from the beginning.
4. “He” is the word that became flesh and walked among us.
5. The wages of sin is death.
6. Jesus is without sin.
7. Yet Jesus loved us so much that he suffer death for Our sins. He paid the price.
8. Since He is without sin, The Holy Spirit raised Him from the dead.
Death could not hold Him because there was no sin in Him.
9. When you die, if you are saved and the Holy Spirit is in you, you will rise.
“You” will rise to be with the Lord forever.
Romans 8:9-11 , 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 .
10. But none of your sinful thoughts or desires or emotions will rise.
The perishable (“You”) will be raised imperishable (without sin).
11. You will be washed clean of your sins by the one who died for your sins.

BELIEVE IN JESUS. ACCEPT HIM INTO YOUR HEART.
The path to eternal salvation is thru God’s son, Jesus Christ.
John 3:16-17 (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 14:6-7 (NIV)
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
2 Corinthians 7:8-10 (NIV)
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

Salvation is a gift from God to those who believe.
Romans 10:9-11(NIV)
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

When you are saved you receive the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NIV)
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

It is through faith that you believe and by His grace that you are justified, not by your own works.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Romans 3:23-24(NIV)
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 10:17 (NIV)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Matthew 7:7-8(NIV)
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

I ask this in Jesus name,
Amen
