Episode 292: Foundations: Revelation, Purpose, & Determined Part 1

Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July to those of you in the United States!
Today, I am taking a detour for the remainder of this week from our new birth series to teach some basic foundational truths. What truths Kevin?
The truths about what God is doing, why God is doing it, and what is God's purpose behind this life. We can sum these three things up into three categories:
1. God has purposed to reveal Himself to His creation
2. God has given His purpose for creation
3. God has determined to show this through a specific plan
If you can truly understand these three things then you have the true foundation in which to acquire a deep understanding of the scriptures. This will keep us from going into God's word on a scavenger hunt for things that will satisfy our needs here on this earth which will eventually be destroyed along with everything in it.
True life does not consist of things that can be acquired and possessed. True life is the person who is responsible for giving life, the Creator Christ Jesus the LORD of Glory.
John 1:4
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Luke 12:22-23
Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
1 John 5:10-13
He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON! He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Do you see it. Where is the life that God promise to give? It's only found in Jesus. If you want the life that God is offering then understand that you can't get it from a religion, from a "church", from a man or woman, from your pastor, from you parents or relative, nor from yourself.
The life God is offering is His Son as it is Jesus who has paid for your sins but only if you believe in Him. Everyone else will not see life but the wrath of God abiding upon them forever.
I know that this is not popular and is hated doctrine, it is true nonetheless.
Today's study is 1 hour and 2 minutes in duration. I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 1 of 2 titled "Foundations: Revelation, Purpose, & Determined. Part 1"
