IN THE BEGINNING

GENESIS: CREATION

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light, " and there was light.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all creatures that move along the ground."
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

THE LORD IS GOD
Deuteronomy 4:39
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in Heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.

GOD'S PLAN

1 Peter 1:20
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

GOD'S GIFT: SALVATION

John 3:14
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the
Son of Man must be lifted up;
John 3:15
that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
John 3:16
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 3:17
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
John 3:18
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

THE WAY TO SALVATION

Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Romans 10:13
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you look for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

"I HAVE SWEPT AWAY YOUR OFFENSES LIKE A CLOUD, YOUR SINS LIKE THE MORNING. RETURN TO ME, FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU."
Isiah 44: 22

NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS
Romans 3:10-18 As It Is Written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
"There throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit." The poison of Vipers is on their lips.
"There mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
"Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know."
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."

FORGIVENESS OF SIN THROUGH CHRIST
Righteousness Through Faith
Romans 2:22-26
This righteousness from God comes thtough faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, and are justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in His Blood. He did this to demonstrate His justice, because in His forbearance He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-He did it to demonstrate His Justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
