GOOD NEWS

Praise the Lord for His goodness and kindness. He is above all and in all. He is the God of all. He comes in many forms but He only came in the form of man in Jesus. Many worship other forms but these forms do not have the power to save. Just as the old testament was the fore runner of the new so also images of god were fore runners of the new. Finally God came in the form of man to die and save him from his sinful state. Now in the Son you have life eternal just as Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Before the fall there was peace and love. Now for eternity you have the same peace and love within you for eternity. The message of salvation must burn in you to affect others. Without the fire burning within you the light will not be seen. Just as the old was clouded in images so the new is covered by rules and rituals. A ritualised faith lacks the power to save. Only a fire brand that burns can give forth heat and light. This fire will then touch others. It is the fire of God within you. The fire releases power and His presence as light and heat. This then touches others and saves them from the eternal fires of hell. Men who caught the vision of hell were moved to proclaim the warning but failed to affect the masses. It is the good news of salvation that will now save them from hell.
