| The Bible says God is alive. He has always existed. He is
the Designer and Creator of the universe. No one equals Him in power,
authority, or knowledge. He is a Person, and cares about the people He
has made. He is holy and always does what is just and right. He loves
each one of us, and rightly expects us to obey Him lovingly. |
 |
| |
| Jesus Christ is God. He has always existed,
but became man by miraculous birth, and lived on earth to show us what
God is like. He healed the sick and handicapped. He comforted those who
were sad, fed the hungry, brought dead people back to life, and rebuked
hypocrisy and greed. |
| |
|
| Jesus died for
all people. He voluntarily accepted the punishment for sin that we
deserve for disobeying God and failing to honor Him. Three days after
His death, Jesus lived again! Many witnesses saw and talked to Him. Six
weeks later He went back to heaven where He lives today as Lord and
Savior. |

|
| |
| We can be
forgiven of all our wrong, and instead of experiencing God's punishment,
live joyfully with Him forever. We must sincerely admit that we have
sinned and dishonored God, and place our entire confidence in Jesus
Christ as the One who laid down His life for us. |
| |
|
| Those who commit
themselves to Jesus Christ become members of God's family. We are
motivated to live clean and honest lives by an appreciation of Christ's
love for us. The Holy Spirit directs us and gives us the ability to live
this new kind of life. |
| |
| Jesus Christ is
coming back again for His followers. Ultimately, all men will be raised
from death. Depending on their response to Christ in his life, people
will either experience eternal separation from God in Hell or have
eternal life. |
