GOD'S EXISTENCE
"The fool has said In his heart there is no God … because that
which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident
to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes,
His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood
through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even
though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but
they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was
darkened professing to be wise they become fools." - Psalm 14: 1,
Romans 1: 19-
GODS SOVEREIGNTY
"Behold the nations are like a drop from the bucket, and are regarded
as a speck of dust on the scales... To whom will you liken God. Or what
likeness will you compare with him.... Have you not understood from the
foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth.
And its Inhabitants are like grasshoppers. Who stretches out the heavens
like a curtain. And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He it is
who reduces the rulers to nothing. Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
Scarcely have they been planted ' . Scarcely have they been sown. Scarcely
has their stock taken root in the earth. But He merely blows on them,
and they wither. And the storm carries them away like stubble... Lift
up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars. The One who
leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name." - Isaiah
40:21-26.
HUMAN ARROGANCE, REBELLION
"Why are the nations in an uproar, and the people devising a vain
thing? The Kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take council
together, against the Lord and against His Anointed. Let us tear their
fetters apart, and cast away their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens
laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger,
and terrify them in His fury. . . . Now therefore, 0 Kings, show discernment.
Take warning 0 judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence, and
rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, least He become angry and
you perish in the way. For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed
are all who take refuge in Him." - Psalm 2:1-12.
THE GOSPEL
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son Into the world to judge the world, but that
the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - John 3:16-18.
HUMAN REDEMPTION
"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for
salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as
it is written, But the righteous man shall live by Faith. " For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness." -Romans 1: 16-18.
