The Amazing Love of God for you and mankind
After the almighty God created the heavens and earth, and everything in them, God made man in his image and likeness as stated in:
Genesis 1:26-31 “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepth upon the earth.”
God gave man the authority and leadership over everything he created, and everything was under his control as directed by God.
Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
God formed man and put him in

The amazing love of God for you and mankind moved God to send his son because he wants to bless your life, ensure you fulfill your destiny on earth, abundant life, and eternal life.
It is therefore imperative you acknowledge your sinful nature to see your separation from God because of sin; Man was separated from God because of sin, therefore continuous engaging and living in sin will led to total and complete separation from God forever, which is classified as spiritual death. It is required that you make a personal decision to receive a free gift of God, which is forgiveness for sin, and everlasting live as stated in Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Jesus came and paid the price for your sin and sin of the whole world with his precious blood as stated in Romans 5:8 “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God’s love for you is not because of what you can offer to please him, but because of his mercy and kindness, which is why he sent his son to pay the price for your sin to reconcile you to him as written in Ephesians 2:8-9 “It is by his grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can

In placing humankind within this world, it is the intent of God that humans enjoy this world and flourish in it through a continuing relationship with Him. And God said, “Let us make a human in our image, by our likeness, to hold sway over the fish of the sea and the fowl of the heavens and the cattle and the wild beasts and all the crawling things that crawl upon the earth” (Genesis 158-159). Therefore, He creates a human in His image, the image of God. God did not want man to be alone and decides to fashion a companion from the rib of man. “And the Lord God cast a deep slumber on the human, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed over the flesh where it had been, and the Lord God built the rib He had taken from the human into a woman” (Genesis 160). Upon learning of this the human said, “This one at last, bone of my bones / and flesh of my flesh, / This one shall be called Woman, / for from man was this one taken” (Genesis 160). Human beings occupy center stage in this account of the world’s origin, but are held in low regard in Mesopotamian and Greek creation stories. In Enuma Elish, Marduk spoke to Ea of his idea for the creation of humankind, but Ea was the actual creator who devised how it should come about. In the Sixth Tablet, Marduk says, “My blood will I take and bone will I fashion / I will make man, that man may… / I will create man who shall
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (ESV)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis1:1.) God’s perfect wisdom created everything. In Genesis 1 and 2 we can see that God has loving and gentile nature when He created the earth and heavens. God created man in his image and we are the only creation that God breathed in the breath of life for human beings (Genesis 2:7). God did not do this for any of other creations but only for humans. The Bible has many scriptures that tell us how creative God is. Genesis 1;26 states “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created all of this for us to have fellowship with him.
So let’s look at them together, and later analyze them separately. In the book of (Genesis 1:26), God said… “And let us make God human beings in our image, to be like us.” The first chapter of Genesis recounts the story of creation and verse 26 talks about the creation and origin of Adam. Unlike the previous, parallel verse, there is a distinct difference in verse 26. Verse 26, talks
“Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned” (Romans 5:12). In order for humanity to fulfill it’s created purpose and be completely satisfied in life, each individual must worship God in every deed, word, and thought. God reveals this purpose over and over again in the first eleven chapters of Genesis in the story of Cain and Able, Noah and the flood, the tower of Babel, and most importantly, the fall. With all of this in mind, one must ask the question, “How can we fulfill our purpose if we are unable to worship God?” That is where Christ comes in. Because of His great love, He came to this earth and died for humanity so that they could be restored to life (Romans 5:8). By accepting Jesus’ free gift of salvation, His blood covers all sin and His righteousness is credited to the sinner (Romans 6:23). The result, then, is that everyone who receives this gift is now free to live their lives for Christ; fulfilling their created purpose. There is, then, only two human identities. Either one has accepted Christ’s gift of salvation and now identifies as a child of God, or he rejects God and chooses death over life. The child of God now lives under the authority of Christ and interprets everything through a different
Luke 2:11 (NIV) states, “Today in the town of David a Savior had been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” This verse relates to my first point in describing who Jesus Christ is to me; He is my Savior. I, along with everyone else in this world, was born a sinner with no chance of experiencing any true hope of my own volition .
In the book of Genesis states that man was created in God's image. This means that man was made in the reflection of God, so man has some of the same characteristics as God and has a special relationship with God, God is able to relate to man. Nothing else was made in the image. of God and this makes Christians believe that humans are special and have a responsibility to God to care for each other and creation.
of the Bible, Genesis, we are told we are 'made in the image of God'
My family taught me about Jesus at a young age, so I always knew I wanted to have a close relationship with him. Knowing that God is going to have my back no matter what was the best feeling to me. He will never leave a person or turn his back on them. The fact that the Bible guides people is one of the amazing things to me because one scripture can change a person whole life. My discourse community teaches a person about faith, love, and everything a person will ever need in life. Jesus encourages people, and supports people when they fail. Being a Christian motivates me and gives me a meaning of life. Being saved is easy, but the hard part is following his guidelines. He knows people are going to make a lot of mistakes in life, but the fact that he doesn’t judge them is amazing. Accepting Christ means a person has escaped that judgment and therefore they will have external life. Being a part of this discourse community has brought me to a new place in life, and for that I am

People all over the world have different religions that believe in there is an almighty being. This means that they believe and worship the almighty being. However, there are people who have questioned whether such a being exists. The question has raised several arguments from different philosophers. Each of them came up with their different views about the controversy surrounding the question. God’s ‘existence’ is one of the widely discussed topics over the years. The question came to place due to some occurrences in society. Similarly, different scientific innovations have contributed to the continued debate on the question. God is believed to be ‘all-powerful’ because there is nothing that he cannot do. This means that he is able to perform anything that is beyond human capability. Such beliefs have raised several questions because they are not in line with science or logic in different ways. God’s existence contradicts with humanity, logic, and science.
