Chapter 1
In
The Beginning
The first thing most people will be saying
is that this is another boring book. Yes, for those who don’t know our Lord
Jesus Christ, it may sound boring, maybe even a waste of time. Unfortunately,
many are lost in sin and the world’s standards rule them. These standards are “driven”
by the devil. He was the most beautiful angel in heaven, called Lucifer, but he
tried to become mightier than God. What happened next? He was thrown out of
heaven with a third of the angels. These angels were his followers and
worshipped him and not God. The devil became known to mankind as Satan.
Look into your mind’s eye and imagine a
world without sin – a perfect world. A PERFECT world? What would such a world
be like? What would it have been like to live in such a world … PERFECT? Salvation
acceptance is the way we will be able to live our worldly life and one day be
able to enter into heaven, to live a new life in eternity, a life where God’s
riches will become our life’s treasures. This is where life actually begins,
through the acceptance salvation.
Where do we start? How about the beginning?
Everything has a beginning and an end to it. But life after death on earth
never ends. All this because of the Gift
of Salvation offered to us by God the almighty Father of the heavens
and the earth, the Creator of everything we can see and cannot see, through His
Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
“In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless
and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters.” – Genesis 1:1-2
This is
where it all began. The earth was formed and created by God. Have you ever
driven around the country side on a weekend, maybe taking the family for a
picnic? What do you see? I used to work at a satellite tracking station a few
kilometers west of Johannesburg. For approximately 12 years I drove out to this
station situated in the hills away from the bustle of the city. What did I see?
I saw beauty in every direction I looked. An earth that was dark and formless,
now filled with God’s beauty as He added to it. Before empty – now filled with
His glory.
I trust this will entice you to purchase it and enjoy your new journey if you have converted to Christianity recently, or maybe just need to know more about this salvation gift from God. Go to
