Begin Your Journey to Peace
GOD’S PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING
- God planned To have a family of Sons who Share in his nature and have his life, Eternal life.
- This was God’s promise from the beginning.
- Titus 1:1-2 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
ADAM’S CHOICE
- The first man God invited to this plan was Adam, he was to receive of the Tree of life (which was symbolic of Eternal life through faith in Christ)
- God in his love informed Adam of the consequence of rejecting this life.
- It will be spiritual death to be without the life of God, separated from God.
- Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
- Adam’s sin was disobedience. He rejected that life. Through Sin entered the world and death.
- Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
- The good news?
GOD’S REDEMPTION
- But God in his love will yet deal this problem and save man from sin and death. This he will accomplish by sending his son Jesus who will bare our sins and die in our place, as a substitute.
- 1 John 4:9-10 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
- Jesus paid the price of our redemption and was raised from the dead.
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS TODAY
- Eternal life is now made available to man today and all that is required to receive is to believe the Gospel.
- God in his love informed Adam of the consequence of rejecting this life.
- Jesus died for our sins and was raised from the dead… He who believes this is saved, he receives Eternal life, God’s Spirit dwells in him. He has immortality.
- John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
- Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
- And even though he dies physically that’s a guarantee on Christ that his body will be raised from the dead immortal on the day Jesus returns.
- 1 Corinthians 15:22-23 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
- You can open your heart to accept God’s gift today.
