The Bible teaches us that God created the Heavens and the Earth. How did He do it, and how long did it take? We honestly don’t know. Don’t be so quick to dismiss the creation of the Earth by God’s active force (God, Son, Holy Spirit), created it “…And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 2:2” God is the greatest force in the universe and made the Heavens and the Earth. Jesus created the earth with a plan and purpose. The earth did not come into existence by mistake and we are not mistakes.  If you believe in Christ then you can know Christ is truly the Lord of all Creation. The earth fell away after creation when Adam & Eve ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. However, now that Christ came to earth and died for our sins we can be saved through Him. The indisputable fact that the Earth, and Heaven exist rather than nothing points to a Creator. God created everything including us and we are His masterpiece. Jesus loves all His children. God’s divine plan for mankind started in the book of Genesis, unfolded throughout sacred history and continues today.

Jesus was humble and perfect, He loved God 100%. Christ in His deep love for us died on the cross for our sins. The Lord was 100% human and 100% God. He came in the flesh to earth and is the only perfect human that has ever lived and will ever exist. “…there is none good but one, that is, God…” Matthew 19:17 When we read this it is important to note Jesus is not claiming not to be God. He merely is stating that God is perfect. John 15:23 Jesus says, “He that hateth me hateth my Father also.” Jesus is the second part of the trinity of three beings in one God. Those that saw Jesus also saw God because Christ is God. Philippians 2:6 says, Jesus “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:”. It is great news to know that Jesus will save us from our sins through faith and trusting in Him. Amen

We either serve ourselves or God. What does this mean? It means that we should not put other things above God. If we put money above God we are held hostage to it, and it is as if we are serving money and not God. Jesus said, “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Luke 16:13. Jesus loved and continues to love all of us and put us before Himself when He came and died on the cross (and later rose from the dead.). We too should put Jesus above all else. When we put Jesus first then we are also loving our neighbor as God in us as our first love helps us love others. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love him, because he first loved us.”. Praise God that Christ loves us and help us to love Him more. Amen

The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ never changes. Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” In life very few things are for sure but salvation through accepting Jesus is a sure thing. Times will be rough in life but God is with us and loves us. With God we can endure and receive life in Heaven. The same Jesus that died on the cross and rose from the dead is living and alive in the hearts of all those that believe. Let us rejoice in the Lord for His great love He has for us. Amen

After Jesus rose from the dead He taught we should go and preach the Gospel to everyone. When we preach the Gospel we should be patient, loving and understanding. To a non-believer the Gospel is sometimes seen as foolish but to us it is the Power of God. There is hope that the Gospel will be preached to everyone. God is wise and moves in our lives and can do the same for an unbeliever. Christ does not want anyone to go to hell but all to have eternal life in Heaven. Jesus is the love of God revealed to all people and the only way to cleanse us of our sins and be forgiven. May all the glory be to God for the gift of Heaven and that eternal life is promised to all those that believe and accept Him. Amen

God desires to lead us in our journey of life. Even when we go through struggles God is always with us. “Psalms:23:4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” It’s great to know God loves us and will protect us from evil. Christ will comfort us and that is also why we have the Holy Spirit with us. John 14:26 says, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” Matthew 28:20 says, “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” What that means is that Jesus will always be with us. Christ is eternal so that is why He says even until the end of the world. Beyond the end of the world Jesus will still exist and be with us. God has promised some day to send Jesus back to earth and rapture Christians into Heaven. Praise God for His love and mercy. Amen

It is important to trust in God and desire for Him to lead us away from evil. Matthew 6:13 says, ” And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Jesus is gracious and compassionate. Christ came to earth so He has sympathy for our struggles. God could have justly sent everyone to hell. The Lord in His deep love for us sent Jesus to die for our sins. If we walk in the light with Jesus we are the light of the world. Jesus never sinned so there is no darkness in Him. Praise God for His mighty Son Jesus. Amen

Many ask the question, “What happens when we die?” When we die according to 2 Corinthians 5:8, when we are “…absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”. When speaking about eternal salvation Romans 10:9 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”. All we need to do is come before God and He will forgive us, we just need to pray, believe and accept Christ. Praise God for dying for our sins and opening up the Kingdom of God to us. Amen

The Bible promises eternal life. John 3:16 teaches us that Jesus came and died to save us from our sins. We should have great confidence that when we die if we believe and accept Jesus will go to Heaven. “Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8)”. God has an amazing afterlife in Heaven promised to us. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Praise God. Amen

The Bible teaches that we should rejoice when we face challenges in life. God desires to use those experiences to help us grow in our faith. When we tackle the hard things in life it helps us learn to endure in the midst of hardship. God’s grace and love shines when we struggle. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” – 2 Corinthians 1:8-10. What does that mean? It means that God loves us and will help us through the challenges. While it may be hard to have joy when times are terrible we should. Praise God that He is always with us. Amen
