The Bible foretells that there will one day be a new heavens and a new earth free from all pain and evil. What will that new creation be like? How much of the present world oder will be restored and what will the final state of the universe be like?
What exactly did Christ endure as went to the Cross? Yes, he was physically tortured. But was there more to it than that? According to Scripture, Jesus endured a psychological agony that exceeded mere physical pain. The sacrifice He made to save us was one of infinite self-giving love.
More amazing than our minds can comprehend is the idea that God became a human being. This astounding event is called “the incarnation.” But why did God do it?
The key truth of Scripture is God’s faithful love. Rather than give up on us, He has remained committed, at any and all cost to Himself, and it is His faithfulness that constitutes the basis of our salvation.
The Bible unfolds a specific story centered on God's call to Abraham and the formation of Israel as God's chosen people. What are the key features of the story, the plot line, in the grand into which the story is reaching?
The moment sin entered our world, God proceeded to do what infinite love does: He vowed to pursue us and make every conceivable provision for our restoration. The covenant of peace is the agreement between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit to do whatever it takes, short of violating our free will, to save fallen human beings.
Because God created a universe governed primarily by free will, the risk inherent in freedom has manifested itself in the emergence of evil as a force to be reckoned with by good. We are all born into a cosmic battlefield, and God is in the process of conquering evil by the only power powerful enough to do it: love.
Either we live in a controlled universe in which all outcomes are determined, or we live in a free universe in which dynamic relationships of give-and-take determine outcomes. But only in the free universe is love conceivable and possible. The Bible teaches that “God is love” and therefore God created a world governed by free will, with all the risks involved in doing so.
According to the Bible, we are not alone in the universe. In addition to planet earth and the human race, there are other orders of beings God has made, such as the angels. Who are the main characters involved in the war between good and evil ?
