Just The Facts

God's Eternal Nature.    John 1:1
(The Supreme Being)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God's Gracious Design.    Genesis 1:26-28
(His Plan for Man)

And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Man's Simple Test.    Genesis 2:16-17
(Adam failed)

The Lord God commanded the man, saying, "From every tree of the garden, you shall surely eat, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat from it, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

Man's Problem of Sin.    Romans 5:12
(The Ramifications of Adam's Sin)

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.

Gods Solution.    John 3:16-17
(The cost of sin)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

The Core of Faith.    1 Cor. 15:3-4
(What to believe)

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

The Battle.    Ephesians 6:12
(The opposition to belief)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
