Learn About Jesus: Evangelical Lutheran Church ELS Board of Evangelism

The Perfect Plan!

When God created the world everything was perfect. Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, were perfect having been created in the image of God, which means they were righteous and holy and that they were created to live forever. God gave them free reign over the earth and they were to manage the earth as servants to God. But, in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God commanded Adam and Eve not eat from this tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they would die.

The devil, a fallen angel, appeared to Adam and Eve and convinced them that they should eat from the tree, they did and sin entered the world. Since that day sin has affected the life of every human being. That is why we need Jesus, for without Him our life's journey will end in eternal suffering. Not very good news is it?

The Good News!

But for those who believe God's Word just as it is expressed in the Bible will have eternal life in heaven with Jesus. That is why we need Jesus.
