1.TheRE IS ONE GODThe Old Testament was written in Hebrew hundreds of years before English or Arabic and tells us repeatedly there is ‘one God.’ ‘I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me,’ Isaiah 45:5. The New Testament written in Koine Greek states clearly, ‘There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all,’ 1 Timothy 2:5. Scripture claims God never changes, Malachi 3:6. which means God’s message of salvation never changes, ‘God our Saviour who will have all men to be saved.’ 1 Timothy 2:4. All men need to be saved because God says ‘all have sinned,’ Romans 3:23. and ‘all the world may become guilty before God,’ Romans 3:19. Sin is a shameful thing in God’s eyes and will keep us out of Paradise unless all our sins are cleansed. The mediator between God and men is Christ Jesus who was the ransom paid for our sins by God so that we could be made righteous by God and accepted into Heaven when we die.
