For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Creation
There is one true and living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created this world in which we live. He made everything and it was good. He made us to live in a loving relationship with Him.
Rebellion
Humanity has rebelled against God. We have refused to have Him as our King. This has not only ruined our relationship with God. It has ruined the world in which we live. It also means we deserve eternal punishment.
A Saviour
God speaks through His Word, the Bible. The whole of the Bible is completely reliable. It is the only authority for all that we believe and teach.
God speaks to people, by the power of His Holy Spirit, as they read the Bible, and hear it preached.
The great message of the Bible is the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. It tells us that through Jesus, and through Him alone, we can be saved from what we deserve.
The Bible explains that though He is the eternal Son of God, He came into this world as a real Man. It says that He lived the perfect life, the life we should have lived. On the cross, He took the blame for all the wrong His people have done. Rising from the dead, He then ascended into heaven.
It says that all those who are genuinely sorry for the way that they have lived. Who turn to God, repenting of their sins. Who believe that Jesus died on the cross taking the blame for them. Are completely forgiven by God and brought into a new and wonderful relationship with Him.
The future
One day Jesus is going to return to this world in great power and glory to judge everyone.
Only those who have turned to God and trusted in Jesus as their Saviour, will enjoy eternal life in heaven with Him.
