       Below is a paper that was written in
       1995; it servers as a good begining place for the newcomers to
       the faith as well as a reminder to the mature saint as to why we
       first came to the lord.The paper is set up to be read one page
       at a time ; followed by thought ; then moving to the next page.
       ;D ; ENJOY

       A DAY with the Lord is like a
       THOUSAND years.
       2 Peter 3:8
       page 2
       --------------------------------------------------------------
       God said to Adam:
       "The day you eat of the tree of
       knowledge of good and evil
       THAT day
       you will surely die . . ."
       Genesis 2:17
       page 3
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       Adam lived 930 years.
       Seth lived 912 years.
       Methuselah lived 969 years.
       Methuselah lived longer than everybody.
       Genesis 5: 4-27
       page 4
       --------------------------------------------------------------
       Note #1:
       No one lived ONE day.
       Note #2:
       Methuselah lived the longest.
       Though he was the man that signaled the end,
       God let him live the longest.
       Methuselah died the year of The Flood.
       Note #3:
       Enoch lived for 365 years
       "and was not for God took
       him".
       Genesis 5:24
       page 5
       --------------------------------------------------------
       Enoch has never died
       page 6
       --------------------------------------------------------
       Who is the other person
       that has never died?
       page 7
       -------------------------------------------------------
       QUESTION:
       Is it FAIR that you have to
       DIE because Adam messed up?
       page 8
       ------------------------------------------------------
       O.K.
       Here's your chance.
       You will live forever if you
       can pass this test
       page 9
       -----------------------------------------------------
       Remember:
       ONE miss
       you DIE

       -----------------------------------------------------
       1.You shall have no other gods
       before me
       page 11
       ----------------------------------------------------
       2. You shall not make unto thee any graven
       image, or any likeness of any thing that is
       in heaven above, or that is in the water under
       the earth:
       You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them:
       
       For I the Lord God am a jealous God visiting
       the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
       unto the third and fourth generations of them
       that hate me, and keep my commandments
       page 12
       -------------------------------------------------------
       3.  You shall not take the name of
       the Lord thy God in vain; for the
       Lord will not hold him guiltless that
       takes His name in vain
       page 13
       ------------------------------------------------------
       4.  Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
       it holy.  Six days shall you labor
       and do all thy work: but the seventh
       day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God:
       in it you shall not do any work, nor
       your son, nor your daughter, nor your
       manservant, nor your cattle, nor the
       stranger that is within your gates; for
       in six days the Lord made the heaven
       and earth, the sea and all that in them
       is and rested on the seventh day where
       the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and
       hallowed it
       page 14
       ---------------------------------------------------
       5.  Honor your father and your mother:
       that your days may be long upon the
       land that the Lord thy God gives you
       page 15
       ---------------------------------------------------
       6. You shall not kill
       page 16
       ---------------------------------------------------
       7.You shall not commit adultery
       page 17
       ---------------------------------------------------
       8. You shall not steal
       page 18
       ---------------------------------------------------
       9.You shall not bear false
       witness against your neighbor
       page 19
       ---------------------------------------------------
       10. You shall not covet your
       neighbors house,you shall not
       covet your neighbors wife,nor
       his manservant,nor his
       maidservant,nor his ox,
       nor his ass,nor anything that
       is your neighbors.
       (Covet means: to desire enviously.)

       You're DEAD!
       page 21
       ---------------------------------------------------
       Jesus died for my sins?
       Just because Jesus was perfect?
       How can Jesus' death help me??
       page 22
       ---------------------------------------------------
       Note #4:
       I love my child.
       I would die for my child.
       My death would do my child
       no good!
       How can Jesus' death help me???

       Kinsman Redeemer Act
       
       Book of Ruth
       The rule is this:
       If you became so poor that you had to sell
       yourself into slavery (like the slavery you
       sold yourself into by sinning), the only way
       you can get out of bondage is:
       1) Person must be of kin.
       2) Person must have the price.
       3) Person must pay the price.
       page 24
       -------------------------------------------------------
       KINSMAN REDEEMER ACT FULFILLED BECAUSE:
       A. Jesus was born of a woman.
       B. Jesus lived a perfect life.
       C. Jesus died with the world
       owing Him life
       page 25
       ------------------------------------------------------
       John 3:16
       For God so loved the world that
       He gave his only begotten Son,
       that whosoever believeth
       in Him
       {He shall give life to}
       shall not perish but
       have everlasting life
       page 26
       -----------------------------------------------------
       This brings us to the same
       problem that Paul had.
       As Paul struggled, the man
       inside could only desperately
       cry out:
       "I know what is right, I know
       what is wrong, I try to do
       right but I do what is wrong.
       Who will save me?"
       page 27
       ----------------------------------------------------
       John 3:16
       For God so loved the world
       He gave
       His only begotten Son,
       that whosoever
       "believeth" {has faith}
       in Him
       shall not perish
       but have
       everlasting life.
       The end----------------------------------------------------
