Who Are We ?

We live in a very diverse and pluralistic culture, a melting pot of ideas and identities. What sets us apart from all the rest, or is there a way to be set apart? It doesn't have to be complicated and so "deep" that it can't be understood. While there are things in the Bible that are difficult to grasp, there are other things that are too simple to miss. Here is our story:

The Strong

Simply put, the story of the Bible is that God created the world, put man and woman in a special place he created called the Garden of Eden. Satan, in the form of a serpent, tempted man and woman,(Adam & Eve) to disobey God, which, as result, led to their being expelled from the garden to toil and live on their own. But, God already had a plan in mind to restore this relationship with man and began unfolding it.

The People And The Plan

God worked through people like Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and others down through centuries, revealing himself and his nature, his love and faithfulness. He established a covenant with people called the Hebrews, later called Jews, and made them his people, his witness to the world. They were unfaithful to the covenant God made with them and were punished, but God had promised a new covenant, unlike the one he had made with physical Israel (the Jews). It would be a spiritual covenant.
