God’s story

In the beginning

God created the heaven and the earth…

and

God created and loved man

And man sinned against

God

Knowing this in advance, God started giving man chances to redeem himself…

Knowing this in advance, God started giving man chances to redeem himself…

…and in His love He still gives us chances

TheOld TestamentNew Testament

and the

The old covenant and the new covenant

The Old Testament tells about creation

God’s chosen people and their

history

Laws, Songs, and Words of Wisdom

Judges, Kings, and Prophets

Sacrifices to God through the blood of animals

The continued stubbornness and defiance of God’s people

God's wrath

Yet, in man’s helplessness, God gave hope

The New Testamentthe new covenant, the new Hope

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not

perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16

It’s about God’s love and forgivenessfor the whole world

It is Jesus Christ's bloodinstead of animal blood to forgive our sins

It’s about being born again

Admitting our helpless state and our sins, repenting, and asking for forgiveness

It is accepting Jesus Christ as our savior

And having eternal life through Him

Then… judgment day

At the end of time, there will be no more chances to come back to Him

It’s not too late to turn back to God

JUST ASK HIM
