What we believe is the most important thing about us, it influences our values and decisions in this life and determines our eternity.
Those who choose God receive His help in this life and have a wonderful glorious future. If we build on a spiritual foundation that includes the teaching in the letter to the Hebrews chapter 6 verses 1-2:
- Repentance from dead works
- Faith toward God
- The doctrine of baptisms
- The laying on of hands
- The resurrection of the dead
- Eternal judgement
This will help establish a personal foundation for life that is not easily shaken. Physical death is not the end, it's the entrance to eternity.
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Luke 1:30-33 New King James Version (NKJV)
The second person of the Godhead was born into the world as Jesus. He was born into the world as one of us, fully God and fully human to restore humankind's broken relationship with God. Jesus paid the ransom for our lives. Only He could pay the spiritual debt of our sin through His death and by
His blood to redeem people from every tribe, people, and nation into a right relationship with the Father, Himself, and the Holy Spirit forever.
