Christianity is the most unique faith in all of history. The God of the Bible, unlike every other deity, has taken on the mission of rescuing humanity from the grip of evil. Virtually all other deities stand at a distance, demanding that people perform acts of worship or allegiance to appease their wrath and earn favor. But our God—Yahweh—offered his only son, Jesus, as a sin offering for humanity, making a way for mankind to be reconciled to him. What a God!
As followers of Jesus, we are called by Scripture to take this message of God’s goodness to the lost and hurting people of the world. Among Jesus’ final instructions to his apostles was the command to “preach the gospel and make disciples.” Preaching the gospel can take many forms, but at its core, it means publicly proclaiming a specific message. What message? That God, through Jesus, has made a way for all humanity to be saved from death and live forever! Could there be any greater message?

Great teaching!
If you think Christianity is all about being a good person, then this video is a must watch. Christianity is not about people. It is about God and the great lengths He has gone through and continues to go through to save people from death. People are helpless in that regard. Nobody can save themselves from death. That is a a self evident truth. Therefore, the Bible does not waste time by telling people to do something they are quite incapable of doing.
Only God, through His beloved son, Jesus Christ can save people from death. How does He do it? You can start to answer that question by watching this video and then pick up a Bible to see if the things Gary Lee says are true of not. That’s all the Bereans did in Acts 17:11. When they did that they ended up believing it and gain life everlasting in the new and improved garden of Eden that is God will surely establish in the age to come, and that is what the Bible is about.
