The Overview
The Christian Church (Ω)
The Lord Jesus Christ
A king was selected to lead the people, but the first king was a
flawed man. Subsequent kings were unreliable and varied
from good to evil. God prepared the people for a special king
that would be the messenger of a new and everlasting
arrangement between God and man—in which God said he
would put his law in their minds and write it on their hearts; he
would be their God, and they would be his people. No longer
would a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying,
ʻKnow the LORD,ʼ for they all would know him, from the least
of them to the greatest of them. He said he would forgive their
iniquity, and their sin he would remember no more.
Ω 1.6
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who
does not believe is condemned already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Ω 1.14
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light
and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be
exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that
his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in
God.
Ω 1.15.1
Concerning Jesus calling God his own Father and how that
makes himself equal with God—Jesus answered and said to
us:
“For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment
to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the
Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the
Father who sent him.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears my word and
believes in him who sent me has everlasting life, and shall not
come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Ω 1.15.3
“Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those
who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he
has granted the Son to have life in himself, and has given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of
Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all
who are in the graves will hear his voice and come forth—
those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and
those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment
is righteous, because I do not seek my own will but the will of
the Father who sent me.”
Ω 1.16
Many have asked the question, "What must we do to do the
works God requires to inherit eternal life?", and Jesus replied
simply, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him
whom he sent."; for which he also performed miraculous
signs. The blind were given sight, the lame were made to
walk, those who were diseased were cured, the deaf were
made to hear, and the dead were raised—all of which were
done publicly, in the sight of many. He explained that whoever
believes in him does not believe in him only, but in the one
who sent him. As many as received him, to them he gave the
right to become children of God, to those who believe in his
name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ω 1.17.1
He said,
“If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the
Father, and he will give you another helper, that he may abide
with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you
know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not
leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Ω 1.17.2
“A little while longer and the world will see me no more, but
you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day
you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in
you. He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he
who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my
Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Ω 1.17.3
“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will
love him, and we will come to him and make our home with
him. He who does not love me does not keep my words; and
the word which you hear is not mine but the Fatherʼs who sent
Me.
When you sin, you will be reminded to repent and to turn from
all the sins which you have committed, and to keep all of the
Lordʼs statutes, and to do what is lawful and right. [23] For
repentance none of the transgressions which you have
committed will be remembered against you; because of the
righteousness which you have done, you will live [25] said the
[24]
Lord God. And you heard Jesus call you to repent, you [26]
that will come upon the wicked who remain unrepentant. [28]
Ω 1.23
When your brother sins against you and repents, you will be
reminded to forgive him. [33] When you forgive him, he will be
forgiven by God. [34] In this case, forgiveness for yourself has
already been purchased [35] in the new covenant Jesus made
for you in his blood. [36] And this is the covenant: The LORD
places his laws into your heart, and in your mind he writes
them, and your sins and lawless deeds he will remember no
more. [37]
Ω 1.25
You will be reminded to love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all
your strength, [38] and to love your neighbor as yourself — [39]
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All
the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate
them one from another, as a shepherd divides sheep from the
goats.[44] [45]
The righteous , which are those who are right by
these standards of God, will be given an inheritance—the
kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world, [46]
and they will go into eternal life.[47] And we will be hated by all
for Jesusʼ nameʼs sake. But he who endures to the end will be
saved. [48] And this good news (or gospel) of the kingdom will
be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and
then the end will come. [49]
