In our time, it is not easy to approach someone with the theme concerning God and faith. For some it is totally out and only for the old folks, others search for divine things within themselves and in nature, and again others deny the existence of a personal God while there are those who speak of a higher power. When certain tragedies happen even those who deny God and don’t believe in Him ask: “Why does God permit such things?”

Since it has become openly known what happened in the past in the name of God and under the covering of religion, it has made more people to lose their faith in justice. This is mainly because they put this religious institution and God on the same level. In the course of time, historians have filled books with reports about the bad states of affairs in the different ages. In recent times courageous authors have brought things openly to the surface, which are almost unbelievable.

In every religion, there are people who are conscious of the existence of not only a natural but also a supernatural realm. It is understood that man is not born to die but to live.

In reality, there are only few who are convinced that everything ends at the point of death. But even they will have to realise latest in the hour of their death that they have erred.

Everyone is born in a certain country into a certain religion or ideology of which they are normally convinced to be the right one.

The present almost incomprehensible advancement, the development from the horse and waggon to the most sophisticated rocket launcher, from the coach-driver to the astronauts and cosmonauts, confirms what the Lord God had said almost six-thousand years ago: “… and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible to them” (Gen. 11:6). The consequence is that man more and more believes in himself and in his achievements, at the same time leaning more against God and doubting His Word. God’s opponent started already in the Garden of Eden to plant doubt into the minds of the first human beings in regards to what the Creator had said, “… hast God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Gen. 3:1). He did not deny God, but put a question mark behind His Word. Today he inspires the well educated, intellectual and scientific minds of man, and he involves them into the various arguments, until he succeeds to bring them up against the Creator. God’s Word is being doubted by many, simply because they look at the failures and actions of those who claim to represent Him.

If somebody is convinced that everything came into existence by some kind of an explosion, the same should view or show a place where an explosion had happened. If someone believes that all living creatures developed from one original cell, the same must tell us who is responsible to bring that particular cell into existence and cause life to be in it. Whoever believes in the evolution theory must explain why we still have the same low lives and living creatures, if such a development has been taking place. According to the statement of the Creator everything brings forth after its own kind. It is that way until today. Every day, in all the world, new life comes into existence by the millions and is a repetition of the creative miracle. Assertions which bypass the ever true evident reality come from one source and have one goal, namely to doubt the creation report in the Scriptures and to make the Creator non-existent.

It is very important to recognise the following fact: The prophets sent by God did not start a faith nor were they religious founders as history confirms. Neither Enoch nor Noah, neither Abraham nor Moses, nor Elijah nor Isaiah; no prophet who was truly sent by God founded a religion. This fact is of greatest importance. All have shared whatever they had received from God. Therefore, the entire Old Testament is one harmonious unit. Only one spoke and worked, namely the Lord God Himself who made known His plan to those whom He had called for a specific purpose. Such men were divine mouthpieces. They lived at different times and received their portion of the Word according to their divine commission and predicted prophetically the things pertaining to the plan of salvation. Even though they lived in different centuries and were apart thousands of years there is no contradiction but perfect coinciding in their writings.

The apostles who were sent by the Lord also did not found a religion. In humility and in simplicity they showed forth the overwhelming fact that Old Testament prophecies were precisely fulfilled. In regards to the founding and the building of a New Testament church, they left it totally to the Lord of Glory Who had said, “I will build my church.” He did not leave this to the apostle Peter or to Paul or to anyone else, but He placed various ministries and spiritual gifts for the up-building of the body of Christ into the church (Eph. 4:11; I Cor. 12 + 14). The Biblical church is not an organised institution by man but rather a living organism. It is the only place God chose on earth to manifest Himself, amidst the redeemed who found grace in His sight. It is also being referred to as the temple of God (Eph. 2:21), and the house of God (Heb. 3:6). God does not dwell in a temple erected by man nor in a sacred building (Isa. 66:1-2; Acts 7:48-49). He lives only in the hearts of His own. It is, therefore, necessary to return to the original and to the beginning to know for sure what the church of God is (I Tim. 3:15), what it believes, what the teachings are and how the baptism is administered, etc. The answers are found only in the book of truth — God’s holy Word. Upon this foundation and awareness of the responsibility before God, this publication is written.
