INTRODUCTION AND STUDY
The history of the earth and the life of plants, animals, and human beings is very interesting. This history had a beginning. But before the beginning of this, there was God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and they existed in glory and blessedness in what we call eternity. In eternity there is no time. There is only amazing beauty, holiness, and righteousness with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit living and relating to each other.Believers have freeomB
God. all three beings are called one God, loved to create. They did not want to be by themselves knowing that they could create new living creatures and a new Universe and plan and make these angels they could created and the people they created come to live with them and enjoy the beauty that they had always had.
The Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit planned together. Jesus was named the Word, and He was the active being that actually carried out the plan. Of course the Holy Spirit did His part by bringing to life what Jesus created with the approval of the Father.
God was so powerful that they thought out what they wanted to do, and then spoke the Word to bring everything in existence. So we know that Jesus spoke and created and He kept everything moving. When some angels disobeyed God and sinned and when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sinned Jesus had to put in effect the plan to save those who believed in God and would do what God wanted.
So to save the disobedient Adam and Eve and their descendants, Jesus came and became a man, took on a human nature even though He was still God and had all the powers of God, and taught people how to behave wisely. He even gave up His life on the Cross so that the punishment that would come to people came on Him instead. He did all of that to save us.
Jesus knew He had to save us because He had created all things, plants, birds, animals, people, the earth, the stars, the seas, and everthing we can see. He even created things that we cannot see.
Jesus loved His creation. His Father and the Holy Spirit loved everything that was created from the very beginning and even before that beginning of human history when they were living in eternity.
We know that everything exists because of the love of God and the work of Jesus. He has all power and still works to bless those that come to believe in Him as the Saviour. He told us that one day He will make a brand New Heaven and a Brand New Earth where there will be perfection of everything, no sin, no suffering, and an amazing amount of things to do throughout eternity for then there will be no time to limit us in learning how to built a beautiful new universe under the loving and watchful eye of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
God must be loved and obeyed. JesusJItIGod also has done great things for usG
God still loves us human beings despite our bad mistakes. So the best thing to do is to love Him back and be grateful for what He has done for us.
