Thousands of years ago• God Spoke directly to prophets who

wrote down gods message• These holy writings were put

together through gods direct guidance into a book called the Christian Bible.

• The Bible tells us that • before any universe existed, • before any stars were in the sky, • before there was a planet called Earth, • there was only a spirit.

God is good

• That spirit was God. • The spirit called God had no

beginning and He has no ending- He is eternal.

• God is a good, perfect, and all powerful spirit.

• God’s very essence is saturated with love.

• There were no other gods or spirits except God.

God Created the Universe• God chose to create the universe, the stars,

the planets, plant life, the animals, Angels and any other spiritual beings

• It all started with the God deciding to create something more

• God created the first people called Humans (his own creation also called creatures) who lived on Earth.

• God created humans so we could benefit from His love

• God made the beasts of the earth• God created everything that creeps on the

ground

God Created Humans

• God saw that what he created was very good.

• God created Humans (men and woman) to rule over all other creatures on earth

• God is the creator of all things, including all spirits and all life.

• All things, all spirits, all people are accountable to Him for their actions, since He created them

God Communicated with Humans• When God created the first humans• He talked directly to them, Spirit (GOD) to

human. • The first man and woman, were invited to live

forever on Earth and to fellowship with God. • There was no death of any animal or Human

on Earth.

• God warned them to obey Him, • to obey whatever rule He gave them, or • else they would be punished by a curse

• which would cause their bodies to age and to die, and

• their spirits would also die.

Mankind Dishonours God• God made 1 rule which The first

human man and woman rebelled against the Creator (GOD) and they broke the only rule God had given to them.

God Cursed Man as punishment• God had to punish them with this

punishment: • pain and suffering would be unleashed on Earth,

and, • God limited the number of years which a man

may live on Earth before they die, • and their spirits would also then die. • Finally, God cursed the people and the Earth so

that all FUTURE sons and daughters would be like them;

• their children would live short lives and also die, their spirits would die,

• and • each child would commit offenses against God

before they died.

God Has Mercy & God Creates more Laws• God knew how easy it was for people to do evil

things. • God loved humans and wanted them not to hurt each

other and not to act in any evil way. • So God gave men more rules so that they would treat

each other kindly and would do good for God. • God gave rules such as, "honor your mother and your

father," • "do not murder," • "do not tell lies," • "do not steal," • and, • "do not worship or pray to any other spirits or gods

except God." God called these rules, "The Law."

God Provides a Sacrifice to pay the price once and for all.• Since God is love,

• He did something very kind for Humans.• Something very unusual, • something very compassionate, • something very loving. • God wanted to give men every chance to confess

their sin and to receive forgiveness. • So, the one spirit who is called God sent a part of

Himself to Earth to live as a man. • He was to teach men to not sin and to ask to be

forgiven of their sin. • This part of God was born as a human man

named Jesus (who was at the same time God). • Jesus became the last blood sacrifice that God

would ever BE require to be made for SIN.

JESUS (God in Human Form)• Jesus, being God and living among the

people He had created, had great love for all people,

• He taught them that after a person’s human body dies, their spirit will continue to exist.

• The spirit of a man CAN forever in Heaven with GOD ,

• Or• , if they are unapologetic, the spirit of a man

is forever in Hell. (Lake of Fire)• When a spirit is in Hell it is called "the

second death” and spent in a lake of fire.

JESUS (God in Human Form)• Jesus gave all humans a way of

escaping the curse of our sins, • He paid the spiritual penalty of

everybody’s sins for them. • He paid for everyone’s sins, all

at once. • He did this as a blood sacrifice

for everyone’s sins.

Sacrifice

• God solved the problem of the curse by sending Jesus (God in Human Form) to die as a sacrifice.

• Jesus changes humans and takes away their curse.

• Jesus gives Humans the way of living with God forever in paradise.
