The calvary truth and teachings

Introduction Adam and Eve sinned. They were driven out from the Garden of Eden, to build up an existence that was defined by hard labor and pain. Eve had two sons and when they were grown up, the older son killed the younger one in a fight. Many sons and daughters were born and then grandsons and granddaughters. The number of people increased, but the amount of sin increased as well. So much so that God started to feel sorry he had made humans in the first place. Judgment Listen to what God says about man: The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. Genesis 6:5-6 How sad that God’s beautiful creation had become so corrupted. Then God decided to punish mankind. So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of...

  Introduction When God put Adam and Eve in charge of the garden of Eden, he gave them one simple commandment: And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Genesis 2:16-17 This command was easy enough to obey because there were so many other fruit trees from which to eat. Disobedience The man and the woman lived in the garden together peacefully, in complete harmony with each other, with the created world around them and with their Creator. But an enemy of God was present, one of his angels who had rebelled against him. This enemy, Satan, wanted to destroy the beauty, but most of all the relationship between God and man. Satan took the form of a snake and one day, when the woman was walking around, he struck up a conversation with her: Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that...

  Introduction After the Great Flood the offspring of Noah started to sin just like people did before. They built a huge tower to make a name for themselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth. But God was not pleased and he confused their language, so they stopped building. Some generations after that, God picked one man through whom He would bless the whole world. Abram is called God spoke to Abram: Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.” Genesis 12:1 God had a special plan for Abram’s life. This becomes clear in what God said to Abram after this: “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Genesis 12:2-3 God promised Abram that he would become the father of a gr...

  Introduction Do you ever wonder how the earth came to be? Why is it that you exist? Is there a Creator, or was the origin of life an accident? The Bible offers clear answers to these questions. All God had to do was speak The first verse of the Bible reveals that God is the Creator of everything: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God only needed to speak to create light, the sun, moon and stars, trees and vegetation, birds, fish and wild animals. God not only created the visible world (trees, animals) but also the invisible world: spiritual beings, like angels. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Genesis 1:3-5 * This is how God created everything: by speaking his word. He did not need anything else at all! God created man in his im...
