Some Points on the Way to a Well Grounded Faith

Through the study of God's two books I have found the following to be worthy. Some of the best references are included here to help you confirm for yourself that these are biblical and are true. May God bless you as you study.

• Jehovah is the Most High God. His understanding is infinite. He is without beginning or end. He is love and is the best there is at loving. God loves everyone.
 
Jehovah had one Son, known as the "Word", or "Logos", who was created before all else was created. All things were made by him (the Word, Jehovah's agent in creating the universe).
 
The Word gave up his former nature and agreed to be born into the family of man as a human being. "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." He was "made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,". However, his life and conduct were without sin, he was "separate from sinners".
 
His life was extinguished, his person (soul) lay dead for parts of 3 days.
 
He was resurrected to the spirit nature and highly exalted to a position at the right hand of God and given a "name which is above every name,".
 
• Those who love the Lord with all their heart benefit from the Holy Spirit.
 
• Man was created perfect, in the image of God, created He him. Through sin, and exile from all those things that truly give life, man fell from perfection to degradation.
 
God planned man's experience with sin and degradation to teach him the abhorrent nature of disobedience.
 
• Jesus, in the plan and the grace of God, died so that every man, woman, and child that is of the family of Adam will have the gift of justification, then an opportunity to be whole (healed) and then a chance to become just in a world that is perfect.
 
• Jesus gave all humanity the opportunity to KNOW that which is just, right, kind, true and loving.
 
• God has established a thousand-year (Millennial) Day during which this World, and all that is in it will be brought to perfection, educated in the moral and civil realms.
 
• We shall soon see "the times of restitution of all things" when God will establish, through Christ and his Bride, the New Covenant Government.
 
• Jesus Christ and the consecrated 144,000, Christ's bride, the Saints, those who, in loving Jesus, suffered and died for Him, form the core of the New Covenant Government.
 
• At the end of the 1000 year (Millennial) Day God will then choose those worthy of eternal life.
