Jesus is central to everything we do. As His church, our aim is to obey Him, glorify Him, Worship Him, and proclaim Him.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:16-17
We are all worshippers. The question is what or who do we worship?
There is only One who can satisfy our worship thirsty souls, and it is the Creator of all things, the God of the Bible, who as revealed Himself through creation, The Holy Scriptures, and the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
Our issue is that without God's intervening in our lives, we will never properly worship Him, and this is why we must understand both the bad news and good news from God to us.
The bad news is every human being is fallen and sinful as The Fall of Mankind recounts for us in Genesis 3. This means we are totally depraved, and without hope of ever pleasing the only perfect, just, good, and holy God. This leaves us in a state of deserving righteousness anger from God, and an eternal punishment of our sin when we die.
The good news is God in His mercy, and lovingkindness, chose to redeem man from his fallen nature by sending His only Son into the world to pay the consequences of our sin through His own death on a cross. The innocent for the guilty.
God's plan of salvation has been before the foundation of the world to draw men and women to Himself through the power of His Spirit, to believe upon and follow His Son Jesus, and the work He accomplished on the cross.
Without this act of God in our lives, we remain hopeless and in our sin, and still guilty before Him as He is the Judge of the world and all who are in it.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is that all who believe upon Him shall be saved, and escape the wrath of God.
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now commanding men that everyone everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He determined having furnished proof to all by raising Him from the dead."
-Acts 17:30-31
