The Way back to God

The Way Back to God
  1. God created man and woman: “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.(Genesis 1.27)
He gave them two choices of Life or Death:  “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of everytree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2.16-17)
  1. Due to making the wrong choice by listening to Satan, the man, the woman and all of creation came under the curse of death: “Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—“ (Romans 5.12)
  2. God, in his mercy, at the same time of putting the creation under the curse, provided also for its  redemption:  “And I will put enmity between you (Satan) and the woman (Mary representing women), and between your seed (ungodly men) and her Seed (Jesus Christ);
    He (Jesus Christ) shall bruise your (Satan) head,
    and you shall bruise His (Jesus Christ) heel.” (Genesis 3.15)
  3. This redemption was to come through a man (“the Seed of the woman-“ Genesis 3.15  & “the Seed of Abraham:” “Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises (of redemption) made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”who is Christ.” (Galatians 3.16) and “And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3.29)
  4. It had to be a sinless person who was to pay the price of redeeming mankind: “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”(1 Peter 1.18-21)
  5. This person is Jesus Christ.
  6. The death of Jesus on the Cross was the sacrifice for the salvation of man from the curse of death. 
  7. What should you do?

  8. “And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16.30-31)

  9.   “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.” (1 Corinthians 16.23)
  10. You may go to nearest Church to continue to learn more about this message of salvation that is in Jesus Christ.

Some Differences between Old Testament Worship & New Testament Worship

"May grace and peace be yours in full measure, as you come to a full knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord." 2 Peter 1:2   Purpose of Writing : An understanding of the differences between The Old Testament and The New Testament will help to illustrate the point that we are in The New Testament, and no longer in the Old    Testament. This means we should live according to The New Testament teachings alone. Old Testament Worship  - There was present one, only one, Tabernacle, later transformed into a sole Temple; a specific geographical location and site was approved for worship for the entire nation; a particular family, the Levites, was chosen to serve as ministers referred to as Levites and Priests; a singular High Priest was appointed who, up to a time, was also the temporal head of the nation. There were Prophets, appointed directly by God & who operated outside the system of the Levitical priesthood & the Temple structure but who, at times, also were inside...

Understanding The Old Testament & The New Testament

Purpose Very commonly Christians, when they talk about The Old Testament & The New Testament, tend to not really    differentiate between the two,    but see them as equally valid instructions while at the same time saying they are different. My aim is to provide an accurate perspective of what the Old Testament & The New Testament are in relation to each other and how they can  be understood taken together.  Introduction The Holy Bible is divided into two main sections or books: The Old Testament & The New Testament. These two books are related. At the same time, they are not the same. Each serve a different but connected purpose in the plan of God for human beings. What is The Old Testament Sometime in the course of human history, after people have been on this earth for a few generations, God, the creator of Heaven and Earth, came to Abraham.

Questions with Answers

1. Question : Can you give money to God?  Answer : No. God wants something different. “"I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is the logical “Temple worship” for you.”" Romans 12.1 2. Question : Why do we keep hearing "You are cursed with a curse" of Malachi 3.9 from the pulpit when people are being requested  to give?   Answer : No one should be reading or citing that scripture as the verse for giving. The verse is no longer true today as we are no longer under the law. "The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah." John 1.17. As well, it is not possible to curse God's people: "I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you.” Genesis 12.3.  Further, there is no compulsion in giving in the church. "Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grud...
