Truths From The Bible
|
God's Character
|
|
Man's Character
|
God is the Creator and Sustainer of everything, and worthy of man's obedience
and grateful praise. He is holy and perfect, and cannot tolerate any form
of sin.
|
|
Man was Created by God with the ability to do both good and evil. However,
man has fallen into the sinful pattern of delighting not in God, but in
himself. Man's energy is devoted to the pursuit of better serving himself.

God's Requirement
|
|
Man's Need
|
As God delights only in good, and man only is evil in God's sight, the two
have no fellowship with each other.
|
|
As God is perfectly self-sufficient and independent of any portion of His
creation, He does not need us, but as dependent, spiritual creatures, and
enemies of God, we need to be made righteous in order to enjoy restoration
into His presence and favor.

God's Provision

|
God's Call
|
Through Christ, God bridges what seems to be an unfathomable gap. His death
in the place of those who were his enemies is acceptable to God
because of His inherent righteousness flowing out of His divinity. This
death is effective as a substitute, because he was made into human flesh,
and lived perfectly as a man.
|
|
God calls men and women to repent and place their trust for a renewed
relationship in this one whom He provided - Jesus Christ
