the Story of God's love

God's holiness

The story begins with an all-powerful God, who has always been. He is perfect and 100% pure, untainted, uncorrupted, wholly good — the supreme standard of morality. God created everyone and everything with perfection and he wanted it to stay that way. Of all that he made, human beings were the crown of his creation, and to them he gave eternal souls. Initially, he lived in unhindered relationship with humans. By God’s design, all of creation was in harmony and there was no pain, suffering, sickness or death.

    The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

    yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken

    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
