In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua]
was in the beginning with God.
THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD
If you ask someone to describe the Holy Bible, a
characteristic response might be that it contains scripture
relevant to the Christian or Judeo-Christian religion. Many
people view Christianity as just one of many religions that
leads to eternal paradise with God after bodily death. A
growing consensus in the world is that there are many faiths
by which to worship God or other gods and obtain eternal life. This could
not be further from the truth. There is only one God, the
Almighty; He is the creator of all things. Almighty God has only one way of reconciling mankind to Him. This one way
is through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Accepting Him
through faith and repentance is the only way to
salvation.
God chose the Jewish people to be His special people
through whose seed reconciliation would come to both Jew and
Gentile. Christ, born unto us through
Jewish lineage, would pay the ultimate price for our sins to
reconcile us unto Himself and His Father, God Almighty. The
Holy Bible is God describing how He has strived with man
while bringing to fruition His plan for forgiveness and
reconciliation. Because God is just, righteousness brings
blessing while unrighteousness without repentance brings judgment. In the Old
Testament, before the birth of Christ, God provided a means
of atonement for sin through a temporary animal sacrifice
that had to be repeated each year. In the New Testament, God
Himself came to our world in the flesh as Emmanuel meaning,
“God with us”. This is Christ, the Messiah, who
became the final sacrifice and atonement for our sins. This
is the very essence of a loving and merciful God.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one in the
same; one God with three personalities. We have a choice to either
accept Christ’s forgiveness through faith and repentance or reject Him
and be lost in eternity without God. We are living in the dispensation
of the church age, the age of grace. Very soon, this age of opportunity
to accept Christ will end. Jesus clearly states,
“I am the Beginning and the End, who is, who was, and who is to come, the
Almighty. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to my Father except through Me”.
