PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST

JESUS, BEING GOD, IS THE CREATOR
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (Gen. 1:1; Jn. 1:1, 3, 14).

HE EXISTS
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." "But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Ex. 3:14; Heb. 11:6).

UNSAVED MAN IS HIS ENEMY
" And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled." "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God" (Col. 1:21; Rom. 8:7-8).

HE LOVES MAN
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (Jn. 3:16; 1 Jn. 4:10).

WHEN WE BELIEVE, WE BECOME SAVED
"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the atonement." (Acts 16:31; Rom. 5:10-11).

WHEN WE ARE SAVED, WE LOVE HIM BACK
"And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." "We love Him, because He first loved us" (Lk. 10:27;1 Jn. 4:19).
