In the beginning God created the world, it was good1. He made Man in His own image and gave him dominion over the earth.2 But Man disobeyed God and through that act Sin was brought into the whole world.3 All humans have sinned and deserve the wrath of God and death.4 But God so loved the world that He sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life and die in our place on a cross.5 Three days later Christ rose from the dead, defeating sin and death.6 He ascended to heaven and stands by His Father to intercede for us.7 One day Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead.8 If we believe in Christ we will be saved and receive eternal life.9 This salvation is a free gift of God, we cannot earn it.10

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
