Ω 1.1

The Christian Worldview

This is the true story as it was recorded at Godʼs instruction by


early man and carefully passed down through the centuries.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He


also created the plants and animals, and finally he created
man. At that time man was created to not know the difference
between good and evil, and to not know death. God was
present and had a different and more direct relationship with
man.
Ω 1.2

To the first man and woman, God also gave a simple


command that God warned, if broken, would cause them to die
—and so God gave man free will. Man was tempted and
curious, and eventually violated the command. This act
caused man to first learn the difference between good and evil,
and evil entered the world. This is also when man first learned
distrust and disobedience. The death God spoke of occurred
when God explained that man would not be allowed to live
forever in this new condition.
Ω 1.3

Over subsequent generations the wickedness of man


increased. The first murder occurred in the second
generation. In time the world became so filled with violence
that God brought floodwaters on the earth to destroy from
under heaven all flesh in which there was the breath of life;
everything that was on the earth died. Those that God spared
became the progenitors of the people now living today.
Ω 1.4

God selected a single person to be the father of a “model


people”—the descendants of which became of the nation of
Israel. God maintained a close relationship with this people
over numerous generations in which he protected them both
openly and miraculously. He dwelt among them, gave them
special laws, administered justice, and established them as a
lasting people.
Ω 1.5

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

The orthodox religious community had been waiting for many


centuries for the arrival of the new king that was to be sent
from God, when a male child was born in Bethlehem. The
name given is Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous, also called "Yeshua", and in
English he is now called “Jesus” and "The Son". A new star
appeared in the sky and moved to rest over the place where
the child lay for a period of time, and it drew people to him.
Later when he had grown to be a man he began speaking of
things the world had not heard.
Ω 1.7

He said that sinners should repent—saying the kingdom of


God is near. Everyone is called to turn away from the work of
their hands—the worship of demons, and idols of gold, silver,
bronze, stone and wood—as well as murders, magic arts,
sexual immorality, and thefts. He also warned of the
condemnation the cowardly, the unbelieving, the abominable,
murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all
liars—saying they will have their part in the lake which burns
with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.
Ω 1.8

He also said that to do these things in your heart is equivalent


to doing them in the flesh—saying that anyone who looks at a
woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his
heart, and that anyone who hates his brother without cause is
a murderer—and you know that no murderer has eternal life in
him.
Ω 1.9 — Ω 1.10

He said that no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is


“born again”, saying, that which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. And as we have
already been born once of a fleshly body, we must be
separately born of Spirit.

He said that no one has ever ascended into heaven but he


who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in
heaven (a title he applied to himself). And he went on to say
that he needed to be “lifted up” (a frequent reference to his
death) in such a way so as that everyone who believed in him
may have eternal life.
Ω 1.11 — Ω 1.12

A new command he gave to us: that we love one another; as


he has loved us, that we also love one another—saying that
greater love has no one than this, than to lay down oneʼs life
for his friends, and that we are his friends if we do whatever he
commanded us.

He also said if we (as individuals) forgive men their


trespasses, our heavenly Father will also forgive us. But if we
do not forgive men their trespasses neither will our Father
forgive our trespasses. The measure we use God will
measure back to us, so we should forgive one another without
limit, and from our hearts.
Ω 1.13

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:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of


himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever he does,
the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the
Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will
show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For
as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so
the Son gives life to whom he will.
Ω 1.15.2

“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.
   

“These things I have spoken to you while being present with


you. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your
remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Ω 1.17.4

“You have heard me say to you, ʻI am going away and coming


back to you.ʼ If you loved me, you would rejoice because I
said, ʻI am going to the Father,ʼ for my Father is greater than I.
“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does
come to pass, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with
you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in
me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as
the Father gave me commandment, so I do.
Ω 1.18

Shortly thereafter, Jesus was publicly executed through


crucifixion, by the religious and secular states, as a dissident—
although no crime could be found against him. He submitted,
suffered, and died, and was laid to rest in a tomb. Then on the
third day, he returned back to life. God had given him the
authority to lay his life down and to take it back up again—to
firmly establish the validity of his testimony to the world. He
showed his disciples where his hands and side had been
pierced, and he stayed for a time and continued to teach. He
was later seen to ascend into heaven, and we were then told
that he would someday return in the last days in the same way
that he departed.
Ω 1.19

Those who witnessed these events were charged with


spreading the good news, and thereby established Christianity
as a religion. Many did so at the cost of their lives. The
religion quickly grew into the most consequential religion on
earth, as it remains to this day. We were warned, however,
that in the latter times some will depart from the faith. And
because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow
cold, but those who endure to the end will be saved.
Ω 1.20

Conclusion: The Good News

God has spoken to us through his son, Jesus.[1] If you believe


[2]
Jesus, then you believe God who sent him. Whoever
[3]
believes in him is not condemned, and has eternal life. [4]
[5]
Whoever does not believe is condemned already and will
[6]
not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. Jesus
[7]
commands sinners to repent and turn from evil, and for us to
[8] [9]
forgive others, to love others, and to believe God. [10] He
who has his commandments and keeps them, it is he who
loves him. And he who loves him will be loved by his Father,
and Jesus will love him and show himself to him. [11]
Ω 1.21

To those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ,[12] and also to


those who obey God [13] keeping Jesusʼ commandments, [14]
[15]
and to those who ask God, Jesus baptizes with the Holy
Spirit [16] which comes from God. [17] That person is born again
—born of the Spirit. [18] God seals us and gives us the Spirit in
our hearts as a guarantee [19] of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased possession. [20] The Holy Spirit
[21]
will then guide you into all truth, will teach you all things, and
bring to your remembrance all things that Jesus said to you. [22]
Ω 1.22

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]

believed, and were forgiven. This is now your righteousness,


[27] which came from Jesus, and will save you from the wrath

that will come upon the wicked who remain unrepentant. [28]
Ω 1.23

To this end you are commanded to go and be baptized in the


[29]
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit —in
[30]
the name of Jesus Christ— and directed to be taught to
observe all things that Jesus has commanded you. [31] This
baptism now saves us—not the removal of the filth of the flesh,
but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is
at the right hand of God—angels and authorities and powers
having been made subject to Him. [32]
Ω 1.24

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]

there is no other commandment greater than these. [40] Love


for God is defined to be keeping his commands. [41] Love for
your neighbor is defined this way: Your neighbor was hungry
and you gave him food; he was thirsty and you gave him drink;
he was naked and you clothed him; he was sick and you
visited him; he was in prison and you came to him. [42] In as
much as you did to one of the least of Jesusʼ brethren, you did
to him. [43]
Ω 1.26

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]

I pray that you believe.

The cross is a reminder that we were bought with a price—


such that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life,
and Jesus will raise him up at the last day.
