Creation and the Journey to Redemption

God went on an adventure to create the universe and man became the apple of His eye.

In the beginning, God went on a miraculous adventure and created the entire universe with all the stars, the sun, the moon, and all the splendor of planets including our wonderful earth. God decided on earth as His choicest planet with life and the place He want man to live. On the earth, He separated the land from the seas and created creatures moving about in the waters. On the dry ground, He added all the grass, herbs, and trees, creatures on the ground, birds, animals, and last but not least mankind. He made some trees to bear fruits, while some to bear beautiful and colorful flowers. He also made fruits to be in many different shapes and taste and the flowers to be in many different colors. After God saw all that His little adventure had proved out to be, he smiled and said to himself, “It is very good and I am well pleased that I took on this adventure”.

God made sure He placed everything on earth ahead of time before adding mankind to His mixture because He wanted man to enjoy all that He had created. God's plan for man is to be the beneficiary of His love by giving everything that He had created to mankind but he also wanted mankind to worship Him by the understanding he was created to serve and worship God. God poured out His heart into mankind so that man could be the very reflection of His image. However, there is a deceiver and his name is the Devil who was once an angel. This angel became envious of God in the beginning and God turned him away from His presence. When this Devil saw that God had created the entire universe and man would enjoy every good thing God had created, he cunningly came in the picture by showing up in the garden where the man lived. By this time, God created a woman as a partner to the man and the Devil uses the woman to cause the man to sin against God.

God was disappointed and angry when He saw what the Devil had done but He still had deep love for mankind. He immediately prepared Christ Jesus to be the Savior for the world. Christ Jesus would be the atonement for man's sins but this Christ did not come in the world right of way. As time went by, man began to multiply meaning more and more people came into the world but these people began to separate from God further and further. God kept on reminding us of His love by sending priests and prophets to warm and teach us but the people kept drifting away from the Master. Man became very sinful, so after four thousand years, Christ Jesus came into the world. He came with the good news about the spiritual redemption of the kingdom of heaven. God had to give man a chance to serve Him regardless of all his sins. He allowed Christ Jesus to die on the cross so he could make the atonement for man and reconciled man back to God once more time. It is a remedy God saw fitted to save His creation.

Now man must do his part to worship God so that the whole world can become in perfect harmony again with God.
