Creator:
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1) That’s how the Bible, the Word of God, starts. God made all things. He created all things. Everything was made by Him and was intended to bring him honor and praise and glory. Everything was made good by him for him. (Gen. 1:27-28, 31; Col. 1:15-20; John 1:1-3).
Lord:
“The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Deut. 6:4-6). Because God created all things, He is Lord over all things. He is the rightful King (Ps.24). As our LORD and God, He deserves our obedience, love, honor, glory and praise.
Trinity:
God the Father - The Sovereign LORD over all.
God the Son - Jesus Christ. The Son of God and Savior of all who would believe in Him.
God the Holy Spirit - The Breath of God, Life-Giver, power-source and Helper of believers.
The Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit are all equally God, and all three distinct persons, yet there is still only One True God.

All of mankind (male and female) was made in the image of God (Gen.1:26-27). This means we were created by God to represent and reflect him and to give him honor, praise and glory in and for all things. We exist to glorify God (to give him the honor, respect, praise, obedience and attention He deserves) and to enjoy Him (to have a relationship with him and find love, joy and purpose in Knowing Him) forever.

Sin entered the world through Adam when he disobeyed God (Gen. 3; Rom 5:12-21, 1 Cor. 15:22). Because of this, all people everywhere have been infected with the disease and curse of sin. We are born in sin and with sin in our hearts and will (Ps. 51:5). This is called Original Sin. This means that we are not only sinners because we sin, but that we sin because we are sinners (Rom. 3:9-23, 6:23; Jam. 1:14-15).
Look around and you’ll see that the world is a broken and sinful place: selfishness, hatred, wars, envy, death, sadness, pain, murder, adultery, betrayal, insulting, gossip, slander, judging, pride, boasting, injustice, scandals, lies, stealing, addictions, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, substance abuse, crime, sexual immorality, pedophilia, pornography, corruption, etc. People don’t need to be convinced of sin and evil existing in the world; they need to be convinced of sin and evil existing in their own hearts and lives. Only the Holy Spirit is able to convince the world, and individuals, of sin (John 16:8).

Jesus came as God’s own Son, born of a woman as a human being, to save His people from their sins (Gal. 4:4; Matt. 1:21). Though He was God Himself, He was willing to be made man in order to become like us and fulfill the demands of God’s law for us, so He could save us from our sin (Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 4:14-16). Jesus lived a LIFE of sinless perfection and offered his LIFE on the cross for our sins. God made Jesus, who had no sin, to become sin for us, so that in Him (Jesus), we could become righteous, forgiven and holy (2 Cor. 5:21). Jesus died a real physical and spiritual DEATH on the cross for our sins, carrying the weight of our sin and God’s just punishment that we deserve. Therefore, God raised Him from the dead through the power of the RESURRECTION on the third day, because death had no right over him, and he now offers forgiveness, righteousness and life (justifying grace) to all who believe in Him (1 Cor. 15:1-4). Jesus is the only way to the Father in Heaven (John 14:6). This is the Gospel: the Good News of God’s justifying grace through Jesus’s Life, Death & Resurrection for sinners; which is received by faith alone.

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him (Jesus) whom He has sent.” (John 6:29). “If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you will be saved.” (Acts 16:31). “...everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life.” (John 6:40). “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through
him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting LIFE.” (John 3:16). Jesus came “that they might have LIFE and have it to the full.” (John 10:10). “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 For. 5:17). Those who believe are "born again of the Spirit” (John 3:3-8). “ I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Gal. 2:20). “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:3-7). “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the
course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work
in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved” (Eph. 2:1-5).

All you have to do to Know Jesus Christ and know that your sins are forgiven and that you will have eternal life with God in heaven is to believe that God is God and you are not.
Believe and confess that you have sinned against God and are in need of His forgiveness and the gift of eternal life, and turn from your life of sin and believe that Jesus came to offer His own life on the cross so that you could be forgiven of your sins and have eternal life through faith in Him. Believe that your only hope for eternal life with God in Heaven is through a personal relationship and faith in Jesus Christ. If you do this, then God promises you in the Bible that you will be forgiven, you will be saved and you will have eternal life with Him in Heaven. (Acts 2:37-39, 16:31, 17:30, 34; Mark 1:14-15; 2 Cor. 7:8-10; Luke 18:9-14; 1 John 1:8-10).

God promises for all those who believe in Jesus, that they receive the Holy Spirit who bears fruit in their life and helps them continue to grow and become more like Jesus for the rest of their lives (Rom.8:28-30; 1 Thess.5:23-24). None of this will be perfect, and you will often fall, backtrack, drift, slip and stumble, but you will make progress through the grace of the Holy Spirit. It will often be 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, but Jesus has promised to stay with you all the way (Phil. 1:6, 2:5-13; Acts 26:20; Titus 2:11-14; Gal. 5:16-25; Eph. 2:10; 1 John 3:14-18; James 2:14-18).

Some of the normal ways God has designed for us to grow are:

Prayer - Prayer is simply having a conversation with God. Talk to Him. Tell Him how you
feel. Your concerns. Your hurts. Your requests. Confess and give thanks to Him. Use the Bible to help guide you. (1 These. 5:16-18; Phil. 4:4-6).

Scripture - The Bible is God’s very own Word, written down so that we can hear from Him today. He gave us the Bible through men who were inspired by His Holy Spirit to communicate exactly what God wanted them to communicate to us from Him. The Bible is God speaking to you! (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:16-21).

Worship - Worship personally, with your family and especially with other believers in a church. It’s important to be part of a local church where you can hear the Word of God preached, sing with other believers, love, have fellowship and encourage one another, and receive the benefits of the sacraments (Baptism and the Lord’s Supper). (Deut. 6:4-9; Heb. 10:23-25; Ps. 78, 117).

Witnessing - Tell others the Good News of Jesus. Tell them how you came to believe in Him. Share you story of New Life and Faith in Jesus. There are many more people like yourself; lost and sinful and without the hope of eternal life apart from a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Tell others the Good News. Share the Gospel of Jesus! (Ps. 67; Is. 55:10-13; Ps. 51:12-15; Matt. 28:18-20; Luke 24:44-49; Acts 1:8-10).
