According to the Bible (which I believe is the true Word of God) We can be saved by the grace of God and don't have to work for salvation. (Eph. 2:8-9). God provided a perfect sacrifice for our sins through the death of Jesus on the cross. -- John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Satan, the Devil, tries to lie to us in many ways and to keep us from God. God said that if we honestly seek Him that we will find him and through Jesus we may find truth and an abundant life. -- John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Non of us are innocent, we have all sinned in some form or fashion and God knows it, even if we try to deny it, and God is a just God and sin brings about death, but through the shed blood of Jesus the debt to sin is paid, all we need to do is humbly go to God and confess our sins and receive the free gift of eternal life through Jesus. -- Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I Corinthians 15:3-6 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures, And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve, After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. -- So all we have to do is to believe in our hearts and minds that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he came to this earth to die for use and we can be saved. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh according to the Bible.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. -- Jesus is the only way to be saved and there is no other way, and hes the only way we become sons of God. -- John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. -- Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart, all you have to do is open that door freely and ask him for the forgiveness he freely gives and to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life, then you will have eternal life. -- I John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

I John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. The word 'God' used in the Genesis creative account comes from the Hebrew word 'Elohim', which is a plurality for God. This plurality could suggest that there is plenitude or fullness of power, knowledge, wisdom, majesty, and eternal being or existence. Also used for paganism, in this text it is used for the one true God of all things. Also suggested here for the plurality is the allowance for the New testament triunity for the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) which may help in the explanation of verse 26 Let us create man in our image, after our likeness 'Us' and 'Our' plurals of majesty, image, and (or) likeness. Genesis 11:7 Go to, let us go down......... here again is suggested more than one in the one God to perform a particular task.

John 1:1 In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word is God. In the beginning here also suggests a period of existence before time and that time was brought into existence at the creation. 'Word' comes from the Greek 'Logos' which means word, thought concept, and the expressions thereof. In the O.T. the concept conveyed activity and revelation, the word or wisdom of God is often personified. To the Greek mind it expressed the idea of reason and creative control. Revelation is the keynote idea to the 'Logos' concept. Here it is applied to Jesus, who is all that God is and the expression of him. The Logos was already present in the Beginning and this is related to the Genesis 1:1 account.  John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. Here it is suggested that the 'Logos' (Word) created all things and therefore was before all things. Since God's words and thoughts have been with God from all eternity then the Logos must have existed from all eternity because God can't create a part of himself. And since the entire work of creation was carried out by the Logos the Logos could not have created himself. To think that God created the Logos would suggest that God had no thoughts before the creation of the Logos. If god had no thoughts before the Logos then that would suggest that God did not exist before the Logos and therefore could not be eternal. Since God cannot exist without the Logos then the Logos must be as much God as God Himself and therefore is God. Since God is eternal, the first cause behind all things, and creator of all things, then the Logos which is every part as much as God must therefore be eternal.
