What do you believe?
GOD
Psalm 100 v 3
Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. NIV
Isaiah 46:9
And do not forget the things I have done throughout history. For I am God - I alone! I am God, and there is no one else like me. NLT
John 1:1- 4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life and that life was the light of men. NIV
Romans 1:20
From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities - His external power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. NLT
PLAN
Acts 17:24 - 28.
God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. "For in Him we live and move and have our being." As some of your own poets have said, "We are his offspring." NIV
Revelation 4:11
"You are worthy, O Lord our God to receive glory and honour and power. For you created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created." NLT
Romans 8:29
For God knew His people in advance and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the first born, with many brothers and sisters. NLT
PROBLEM
1 Peter 5:8
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. NLT
1 John 1:8-9
If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from every wrong. NLT
Romans 3:22-24
We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard yet now God in His gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. NLT
SOLUTION
Romans 5:8-10
But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners and since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, He will certainly save us from God's judgement. For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of His Son while we were still His enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by His life. NLT
1 Peter 3:18
Christ also suffered when He died for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners that He might bring us safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the spirit. NLT
1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. NLT
Philippians 4:6-7
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. NLT
John 8:31-32
Jesus said to the people who believed in Him, "You are truly my disciples if you keep obeying my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." NLT
PROOF
1 John 4:9-10
God showed how much He loved us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. NLT
1 John 1:1-3
The one who existed from the beginning is the one we have heard and seen. We saw Him with our own eyes and touched Him with our own hands. He is Jesus Christ, the Word of life. This one who is life from God was shown to us, and we have seen Him. And now we testify and announce to you that He is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then He was shown to us. We are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. NLT
Revelation 1:1-2
This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave Him concerning the events that will happen soon. An angel was sent to God's servant John so that John could share the revelation with God's other servants. John faithfully reported the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ - everything he saw. NLT
FUTURE
Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the Holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain for the old world and its evils are gone forever." NLT
Hebrews 9:27-28
And just as it is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgement so also Christ dies only once as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again but not to deal with our sins again. This time He will bring salvation to all those who are eagerly waiting from Him. NLT
John 14:1-4
"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there." NLT
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.." NLT
WHY?
1 Peter 3:15-16
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But you must do this in a gentle and respectful way. NLT
Luke 21:14-15
So don't worry about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply! NLT
Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus came and told His disciples, "I have been given complete authority in Heaven and Earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the Age." NLT
