God
God exists in three images or persons - God is the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity. It may be difficult to understand how there can be three in one, but God is different from us.
Father
God created the world by speaking it into existence. God is not limited in His power. He knows all things and He is always present.
Son
For two thousand years Jesus Christ has been the one central character of human history.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the mysterious power or presence of God within individuals, empowering them with qualities they would not otherwise possess.
God’s Plan For Our Lives
God is holy and God is love. His holiness demands that our sin be punished infinitely. His love provides a way for us to be saved from this punishment. How is this possible? Another was willing to suffer what we deserve. Our substitute had to be a sinless man, able to suffer the infinite anger of God against our sin. The only one able to take our place was God’s only Son.
The greatest display of God’s love unfolded as His Son left heaven to become a man. Born of a virgin 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ lived with His creation. Unwilling to sin Himself, yet He showed compassion to sinners all around Him. However, men hated Him because His holiness revealed their sinfulness. He willingly allowed them to nail Him to a cross of wood outside Jerusalem. They suspended Him so they could sit and watch Him die. The climax of God’s plan of salvation had arrived as God covered the earth with darkness. The Bible tells us that for three hours He laid on His Son the infinite punishment we deserve for our sin. The darkness was broken when Jesus Christ called out with a loud voice “It is finished”. He had accomplished His mighty work, God’s great plan of salvation.
After three days in death, Christ Jesus rose from the dead. This is evidence to all that saw him afterwards and to all who read God’s word that Christ’s suffering completely satisfied His father. He was victorious over death itself – the ultimate consequence of our sin.
God’s plan of salvation brings us into the good of Christ’s suffering, death, and victory. “For when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
