Jesus is Lord
The ABC of Christianity
By Deacon Obi
God Loves Us, God is Holy, God is Just, God is Merciful
His Mercy Endures Forever – But We Have a Choice
God Loves Us
-
God created us – He gave us His own spirit
-
God's intention was to have fellowship with us
-
We sinned – sin is rebellion against God
-
But He still loved us
God is Holy
-
Holy God could not fellowship with us because of sin
-
Sin created separation between God and us
-
But He still loved us
God is Just
-
Justice demands that we pay for our sin
-
God introduced moral law for us
-
We could not and cannot keep God's moral law because sin corrupted us
-
But God still loved us – so He made a Grand-Plan
God is Merciful
-
God, Himself came to the world as Jesus Christ (both God and man) – Big mystery
-
Jesus suffered as man, all the while glorifying God
-
Jesus died on the cross and paid the penalty for our sin
-
God's justice was fulfilled
-
God's mercy was manifested
-
We can now have relationship with God again (Grace)
-
-
Jesus defeated death for ever and rose from the grave in 3 days
God’s Mercy Endures Forever
-
We became holy and righteous again, through faith in Jesus Christ
-
God promised to come back to earth again as Jesus Christ (His second coming)
The Choice is Ours
-
God left us with His spirit which we lost due to sin (the Holy Spirit). Available to those who believe
-
We can now have fellowship with God again, forever, if we choose
-
We have temporary fellowship now, through Jesus, by the Holy Spirit
-
We will have fellowship forever, through eternal life in heaven, if we choose.
-
It is by choice, inot by force.
