There is Physical, and there is Spiritual
The Physical you can see and touch
The Spiritual exists but it is invisible.
(Romans 1:20, Colossians 1:15-16)
You are an invisible Spiritual Soul, living in a Physical body.
Your thoughts and emotions are invisible.
They become visible when you act on them with your Physical body. Your Physical body eventually dies and returns to the earth. Your Soul returns to God.
(Deuteronomy 4:29, Psalm 23, Genesis 2:7, Genesis 3:19, Ecclesiastes 12:7, Matthew 10:28)
How did life on earth come to exist?
There has to be a Creator, God.
Earth and Life on it is too complex to be the result of random events.

Science seeks to understand how God’s creation works.
Science has learned about molecules, atomic particles, and subatomic particles.
Science theorizes that subatomic particles are held together by gluons. Gluons, ” glue” have the qualities of light, but are invisible. Gluons hold all things together. Science is Searching for God.

The Bible talks about a Spiritual Light that holds all things together. Physical and Spiritual.
God said Let there be Light. God Separated the Darkness from the Light. He called the Light “Good” (Genesis 1: 3-6 )
The Word Became Flesh (John 1:1-18)
The Light that holds all things together (Colossians 1:15-23)
God called all that he created, “Good” (Genesis 1:31)
There is only one who is good (Matthew 19:17, Luke 18:19, Mark 10:18)
Jesus is the Light of the world. (John 8:12)
Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness (1 John 1:5-10)
God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:20-28)
The Lamp of the Body (Luke 11: 33-36)
The Day will bring to Light (1 Corinthians 3: 10-15)
God’s spiritual light contains all that is good. Following God’s way leads to eternal life of your soul. (Romans 10:9-11, Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:9-11)
God is the light in in Him there is no darkness. (1 John 1:5)
Spiritual Darkness is absence of The Spiritual Light. Separation from God.
Before God said, “Let there be Light”, Darkness was over the surface of the deep. God did not create the darkness. (Genesis 1:1-2)
God said Let there be Light. God Separated the Darkness from the Light. He called the Light “Good” (Genesis 1: 3-6 )
The Light came into the world, but people loved the darkness. (John 3:16-21)
The darkness contains all that is sin. Living in sin leads to death of your soul, eternal separation from God. (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 4:17-32)
Jesus is The Way to Eternal Life.
GOD
(Matthew 19:26, 28:18-20, John 1:1-14, 4:1-24, 1 John 1:4-6, 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
God is the Creator. All things that God created He called good. All things that are truly good come from God. God has made it plain to see that He exists.
“YOU”
(1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 15:50-54, Matthew 10:28, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, Revelation 20:11-15)
You are a Soul living in a Physical body. God knitted your physical body together and gave it the spiritual breath of life (You/Soul). Your emotions, thoughts, desires, are part of “You” (Soul/Human Spirit).
DARKNESS
Spiritual darkness (evil/sin) is in the world. God did not create the spiritual darkness.
SATAN
(Jude 1:6)
Satan is the leader of the fallen angels. They are angels that fell away from God and turned to the darkness. Satan is a deceiver. Satan is the father of lies.
GOD vs THE DARKNESS
(John 1:1-14, 1 John 1:5-6, 1 Corinthians 4:5-6, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28)
God is the Spiritual Light. There is no spiritual darkness/sin in Him.
The darkness cannot overcome The Light.
Someday God will remove all spiritual darkness (sin) so that God will be All in All.
GOD AND MAN’S PROBLEM WITH DARKNESS (SIN)
In GOD there is no sin. Man cannot overcome the darkness/evil/sin on his own.
Our sin separates us from God and leads us towards eternal suffering and separation from God. The only way for Man to overcome sin is through his relationship with God.
GOD HAS OFFERED US A WAY THAT WE MAY BE SAVED FROM OUR SINS AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS IS THE WAY.
A woman named Mary became pregnant through the Holy Spirit and had Jesus who is the Christ, the Messiah the Son of God.
When Jesus was about 30 years old, he began preaching the truth about the kingdom of God and God’s plan for salvation. He ministered for approx. 3 years.
God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, to die in our place for the forgiveness of our sins. He did this so that we might have eternal life.
After Jesus was crucified and died, the Holy Spirit in Jesus raised Him from the dead to eternal life. His mortal physical body was replaced with an immortal body.
Jesus was on Earth for 40 days after his resurrection. Then He ascended into Heaven. He will return soon and reign on Earth.
Jesus loves us so much that He suffered so that we might have eternal live.
THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE
The Problem: Man is Sinful
(Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Matthew 16:26, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 10:28)
The Solution: God’s offer of Mercy and Grace
BELOW IS A SAMPLE SALVATION PRAYER
Asking Jesus to come into your Life comes from your heart.
Your words.
God, Lord Almighty, Creator of the Heavens and Earth,
I am a sinner. I know that in God there is no sin.
I know that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
I know that sin separates me from God. I am truly, truly sorry for all of my sins.
Please help me to turn away from My sinful life.
I know that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
I believe with all of my heart and soul and declare out loud that:
“Jesus is Lord,” and believe with my heart that God raised him from the dead.
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, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
Thank you Jesus for dying in my place for my sins so that I might have eternal life.
Thank you Jesus for depositing the gift of the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing eternal life to all who believe.
Please God, deposit the Holy Spirit into me and guide my life.
I ask this in Jesus name,
Amen
There is an Assurance when you are saved
(Ephesians 1:13-14, John 10:27-30, Romans 8:9-11, Romans 8:38-39)
Accept Jesus into Your Life
