In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He formed mankind in His own image, placing them in the lush beauty of the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 1:1-2:25)

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” – Genesis 1:27

In the story of the Fall (Genesis 3:1-24), we see humanity’s tragic choice to disobey God’s command, influenced by the cunning temptation of Satan. Despite God’s provision and love, humanity yielded to the deceitful whispers of the enemy, leading to disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world. This rebellion against God’s will shattered the harmony of creation, bringing forth brokenness, suffering, and a profound separation from the divine presence of God.

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people because all sinned.” – Romans 5:12

Witnessing the increasing wickedness of humanity, God sent a great flood to cleanse the earth. He spared righteous Noah and his family, instructing them to build an ark to preserve life. Through this event, God demonstrated both His judgment upon sin and His mercy toward those who faithfully obey Him. (Genesis 6:5-9:17)

“For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.” – Matthew 24:38

Despite humanity’s continual rebellion, God promised redemption. Throughout the Old Testament, He raised up prophets and leaders to guide His people and foretold of a Savior who would reconcile humanity to Himself. 

“The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” – Isaiah 7:14

In the fullness of time, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, demonstrating God’s love and grace to humanity. He taught about the kingdom of God, performed miracles, and ultimately offered Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16

Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice, was crucified, bearing the weight of humanity’s sins upon Himself. On the third day, He rose triumphantly from the grave, conquering sin and death. Through His resurrection, Jesus offers eternal life and reconciliation with God to all who believe in Him.

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” – 1 Peter 2:24

Salvation is a gift from God, offered freely to all who repent of their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Through faith in Christ, believers are forgiven, adopted into God’s family, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live transformed lives.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9

As followers of Christ, we look forward to the glorious return of Jesus Christ, when He will establish His kingdom in fullness, renewing all creation, and making all things new. In that day, we will dwell in the presence of God forever, experiencing perfect peace, joy, and communion with Him.

“Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” – Revelation 21:1-2
