In the Beginning

​

God created man in His image and after His likeness. God and man had a perfect relationship with each other. Man was given the free will to choose.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:26

 

God's Command

​

"But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” Genesis 2:16,17

 

Man Disobeyed God 

​

Man chose to disobey God’s command.

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Genesis 3:6

 

Sin Separates Man from God

​

As a result of man’s sin, he is separated from God. He will face death, physically and spiritually. "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

​

Finding Our Way Back to God

​

Man tried to find his way back to God. We try to be good, religious, charitable, moral, educated or do all kinds of good works. But none can bring us back to God.

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6

 

God’s Remedy

​

God loves the world. He acted out His love for us to save us from our sins by giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to us.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

 

Jesus is the Only Way

​

God’s only begotten Son is Jesus. He came to live a perfect righteous life for us because He is God and is sinless. He became a perfectly sacrifice for us. Instead of us being punished for our sins, Jesus was punished for us on the cruel cross. We are saved by Jesus’ life and death. On the third day, He rose again from the grave to prove that He is God and our Saviour. He lives forever.

Therefore, "Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14:6

​

Repent and Be Saved

​

We are to repent or turn away from our sins and believe that Jesus’ precious blood can wash away our sins.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.  

Through Jesus, our relationship with God is restored. We have everlasting life in Jesus when we accept Christ as our Saviour and Lord and we will be in Heaven when we close our eyes to this world.

​

Heaven will be a glorious place

​

All who trusted in Jesus Christ will not be condemned. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4
