The entire Bible points to THIS ONE THING:
Everyone of us sins
[falls short of God’s perfection...
His glory or His holiness].
Therefore, we can’t get to Him on our own,
so He had to make a way. His Gift?
He sacrificed His own blood -- Jesus.
Jesus died willingly and paid for our crimes with His life.
- Just take The Gift; it is your ticket.
- It’s free and the only one validated at the gates of heaven.
- No one is worthy of it,
I repeat, No one is worthy of it
He gives it to you, out of Unconditional Love.
[that is what Grace is - you cannot earn salvation.]

He created you to have an intimate relationship with Him (communion).
This begins through your prayers and trusting Him with your life.
Think you’ve got a sin He can’t forgive?

Accepted His Gift?
Then you have become a child of God, you are washed as white as snow. As far as the east is from the west, your sins have been removed from you and they are remembered no more. You are going to heaven when your earthly body is done and there is much more.
Now what?...
I suggest reading a small portion of your Bible every day (pick a time of day that you will make just for you and God). Start with the “Pentateuch for New Readers” [found below]. Pay attention to what God is saying to you. Take your time; don’t expect to understand everything immediately. Always ask Him to reveal (illuminate) to you what you need to know.

* Max E. Anders, “30 Days to Understanding the Bible”
in only 15 minutes a day you will learn
- the structure of the Bible
- all of the important People
- all of the important Places
- the major doctrines of the Bible
30 Days is easy to read, uses maps and fill-ins and repetition. Perfect for beginners and advance Bible students. We used it at the beginning for Bible Intro. at Patten College (1993) and I still use it. (2005)
Pentateuch for New Readers...
The first five books of the Bible are called the Pentateuch [Greek- Penta: Five; teuch: written law], but I do not suggest reading the Bible from front to back because it is not printed in chronological order. I do suggest reading these five in this order if you are new reader.
Old Testament--
Genesis - birth of creation
Deuteronomy - birth of the law [summarized], and Israel
New Testament--
Gospel of Mark or Luke - Jesus’ life and work on earth
* Mark is short, Luke shows how he treated women
Acts - birth of the church
Romans - instructions to the early church.

“as a Father
has compassion on
his children,
so the LORD
has compassion on
those who fear Him;
for He knows how
we are formed,
He remembers
that we are dust”
Psalm 102:13-14
Now What?
