God

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. The earth was without form and was in complete darkness. The spirit of God walked on the surface of the waters. Next, God created light and separated it from darkness, He named the light day and darkness night. God created the sky on the second day. On the third day, He commanded the waters to gather in a place called sea. Grass and herbs grew on the dry lands and they bore fruits. On the fourth day, God created the heavenly bodies and birds of the sky. On the fifth day, God created cattle and other land animals. God created man on the sixth day, in His image and likeness. God blessed man and told him to be fruitful and multiply. Adam the first man named the other creatures; God gave him authority over all of them. God rested on the seventh day which symbolizes ‘sabbath’ in this present day. God created Eve with a rib He had removed from Adam, when he fell in a deep sleep.

God was happy with his creation, that they were good in His eyes.

Three months after the Israelites left Egypt, they entered the wilderness of Sinai. They set out from Rephidim and settled at the base of Mount Sinai. Moses had climbed the mountain to pray to God. The Lord told Moses to tell the children of Israel that they have seen what He did to the Egyptians and how He carried them on eagle's wings to Himself. Then the Lord made a covenant, or a special promise, with them if they kept his commandments. Moses came down from the mountain bearing God's commandment, he gathered the elders and told them what God had said. Together they replied saying they would do whatever what God said. When Moses had gone back to God, Gold told him He would come to the Israelites on the third day, therefore they should be made themselves spiritually clean. The people did as they were told. God gave Moses the ten commandments to read out to them and obey all.

Jesus Christ is God's only son. He was birthed by a virgin called Mary. The book of John 3:16, Luke 9:35 and Matthew 17:5 are few scriptures that confirm that Jesus is indeed the son of God.

Jesus was preaching on a fateful day, when a pharisee asked him what the greatest law was. Jesus replied saying, the first is love God with all your heart and soul, and the second is love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus teaches us that love is the greatest law.

The moment man sinned against God, he lost everlasting life in God and was meant to die. For the punishment of sin is death, but through Jesus Christ man has the gift of God, which is eternal life. In the epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, he talked about how we conquer death, through Jesus Christ “'Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” The crucifixion of Jesus was an atonement of our sins; we are saved from sins and its punishment which is death.

According to the revelations John had, he saw new heaven and a new earth after the first had passed away. He also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven. He heard a voice in heaven saying the tabernacle (home) of God is with men and He will live with them, that He will wipe away their tears and there shall be no more death, sorrow, nor tears as old things had passed away. God said he would make all things new, also give who is thirsty a fountain to drink from. All those who overcome shall receive all things; He will be their God, and they shall be his son.

Jesus said that His Father's house (heaven) has many rooms. He would go make room for the believers, and He would come back to them with Him. This further shows that the end fate of all believers is Heaven with God.
