The Beginning and the Essence of the Gospel

There has been a scientific question boggling the minds of scientists concerning the existence of God and creation.

Let me answer that:
The Kingdom of God exist we the lowly see its evidence day and night through all He does for us. You say its all mirth because it is true you have been searching in the wrong direction and not found Him. We searched for Him as well and found Him. How is that?

Let's start from the beginning. Genesis chapter one. It is a story of Beginnings, but the most important and urgent beginning was the beginning of sin. For from such we are captive needing redemption. Never the less, the beginning of all creation is not forgotten.

Genesis 1:1 NIV

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

It just a claim of who created the heavens and the earth. Any lie or untruth about, any contrary claim would be lying wouldn't they?

How he created it, is a question that follows. Believing it or not seems be a choice than a quest for a proof of how is it possible. Nevertheless, it is good to ask questions. In them some have found salvation. The three wise men, found out about Jesus Birth through their search for knowledge. And found him even at the time of his birth. How accurate is that?

What was the state before he started creating it?

Genesis 1:2 NIV

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Genesis 1:3 - 31 explains the rest. Believing is a choice than a quest for truth. For in understanding anything you do have to accept certain conditions. When you have understood these pre-conditions, it is easier to understand the rest.

You see at this moment the question of God's existence does not arise. It is verse obvious for the person who wrote this in such a declarative non-apologetic manner knew what he was talking about and it had to be said before he can say all that he wanted to say. Where does this doubt of God's existence arise? In the hearts of those who have searched and not found him.

Where is the Kingdom of God?

Deuteronomy 30:12-14 NIV

It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

Jesus reiterates this as well:

Luke 17:20-21 NIV

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."

But He says:

John 3:3 NIV

Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

Why is that? We can now go back to the beginning and read Genesis 2. Because of sin all creation became subject to sin and death. Yet God loves His creation and would want to redeem it. How? By letting them be born again through Jesus. For through Adam, we died, we have to be born again through Jesus.

How can we be born again?

Be born of Water and the Holy Spirit. Don't ask me how effective that is. I have seen it importance but I cannot explain how that should be. For it the work of God to redeem a man. My part would be, to Baptize like John did. To Baptize in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Using water, yes H20 we already know. But it is indeed the same water we baptize with. The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit. And its effect is true and evident to those who believe the Gospel we have preached to them. I have seen people change from just being baptized.

I heard testimonies of those who were healed by just being baptized.

Here is why? When we preach, our intention is to point the peoples attention to God. Who when they are convinced and turn to, they ask Him in repentance, to save them. For their sin becomes evidence to them and their hopelessness about it becomes real and their need to make peace with whom they have displeased.
God now comes in forgiveness and reconciliation to those who have repented. This is only possible within. For one can pretend before the preacher. His eyes are then still in the wrong direction.

His eyes indeed have to be towards God. And His prayer, to be towards Him who can save Him.

The simplest prayer of salvation is, Jesus, save me! For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Ask Him to Baptize you with the Holy Spirit. For it is the Holy Spirit who is supposed to teach you the rest of the way to your specific salvation. Within you.

You will find yourself liking more and more the things of God. Some of the change within you is evident to yourself. Some of it, you may not notice but others will see the difference. For your faith, they will tell you saw.

How did that happen? The change, the salvation? It's within you. You can explain all that you experienced for its evident to you. Is it possible for others to understand? Of course they have seen the evidence of the change that is why they are wondering. In their frustration to not be able to change like you have and not to know, its the reason for their anger and jealous. In their frustrated search, they conclude God does not exist.

He does, just trust His directions how you can find Him you will find Him. Be born again. Of water and the Holy Spirit. In the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. Ask of this of your pastor, he will be more delighted to help.
