Who is God?

God is the creator of mankind and He loves you.

You were created by Him and He knows everything about you.

You were made to have a relationship with God.

We were created to have a relationship with God. But that relationship was broken when we disobeyed God.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

God is perfect, we are not.

Since perfection is unobtainable for us that made God unobtainable. Sin separates us from God.

Since God is the source of life separation from Him means death.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Jesus came to save us.

God fixed this and He sent His Son in order to pay the penalty for our sins.

Now through faith in Jesus Christ our relationship with God can be restored. Our sins can be forgiven and we can have eternal life.

I believe, but now what?

The forgiveness of sins is not by works, it is a free gift based on what Jesus did for us.

We receive His forgiveness by placing our faith and trust in Him.

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

We communicate with God through prayer. If you believe this in your heart pray this prayer:

“Father I am a sinner. Jesus you are Lord and my Savior.

Please forgive me of my sins.

I ask you into my heart, that you would make me a new person.

I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.”

Aspects of Information as Found in the Bible

by Dr. Werner Gitt on May 28, 2009 God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. 14.1 God as Sender—Man as Recipient The five aspects of information—statistics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics—were discussed in chapter 4 , and it was stated that all five are indispensable for both the sender and the recipient. It is highly instructive to view the Bible in this way. Figure 27: God as sender; man as recipient. When God speaks in the Bible, He is the Sender of information. The message of the Bible, transmitted to us as recipients, can be analyzed according to the aspects of information, namely syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics. Only when we cover all the levels, will we achieve the purpose intended by God. Sender: In Figure 27, God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. His Word is available to us today in completed ( Revelation 22: ) and written form (e.g., Exodus 17:14 ;...

Five Powerful Communication skills to Effectively Manage and Nurture Relationships

Every relationship, even with someone we've just met, begins with how we communicate. Communication is the foundation of any relationship, reflecting the depth of our concern, joy, or other inner feelings toward the other person. Clear, affectionate, understanding, and honest communication strengthens bonds, potentially lasting a lifetime. In some friendships, there's a unique way of expressing wishes that deeply resonates with us, affirming the connection. Others may communicate in a straightforward manner, signifying a relationship of convenience rather than depth. The way we communicate reveals how much we value the relationship—if we truly care, it will be evident in our words; if not, our communication will be limited to what is necessary. Your relationship begins with your intent and your words. The right words can heal like a balm or cut like a knife. Your words matter. Here are five powerful communication skills to effectively man...

Hudson Taylor's Testimony

Hudson Taylor’s Testimony There is nothing like reading salvation stories. Hudson Taylor’s (a British missionary to China who lived from 1832-1905) testimony is one of the greatest and most exciting salvation stories that I have read. Below you will see an excerpt from his autobiography where he tells the details of how God rescued him by His grace through the prayers of his mother. What a glorious Savior is Jesus! Here is the account: Let me tell you how God answered the prayers of my dear mother and of my beloved sister, now Mrs. Broomhall, for my conversion. On a day which I shall never forget, when I was about fifteen years of age, my dear mother being absent from home, I had a holiday, and in the afternoon looked through my father’s library to find some book with which to while away the unoccupied hours. Nothing attracting me, I turned over a little basket of pamphlets, and selected from amongst them a Gospel tract which looked interes...
