The Beginning, the End, and the Revelation of God in Christ
Just as we cannot fully determine the beginning of all things, neither can we determine the end that God has ordained. Scripture reminds us that both the beginning and the conclusion of creation rest in the authority of the eternal God. The Bible opens with a powerful declaration: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” With this single statement, God reveals Himself as the source of all existence. Although God is invisible and spiritual, the evidence of His reality is clearly seen through the visible things that He has created. Creation itself testifies that God exists and that His power is beyond human limitation.
The Invisible God Made Known Through Creation and Man
As the Bible unfolds, it develops the understanding that humanity is the highest expression of God’s creative work. Man was made in the image and likeness of God, designed to reflect His nature, character, and authority in the earth. This truth points us to a deeper revelation: the invisible God desired to make Himself known visibly and tangibly. Therefore, God came into the world in the likeness of man, and His name is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is not a myth or a philosophical idea. Both the Bible and secular history bear record of His life, His works, His teachings, His death, and most importantly, the testimony of The Beginning, the End, and the Revelation of God in Christ

God Manifested in the Flesh: Jesus Christ
As the Bible unfolds, it develops the understanding that humanity is the highest expression of God’s creative work. Man was made in the image and likeness of God, designed to reflect His nature, character, and authority in the earth. This truth points us to a deeper revelation: the invisible God desired to make Himself known in a visible and tangible way. Therefore, God came into the world in the likeness of man, and His name is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is not a myth or a philosophical idea. Both the Bible and secular history bear record of His life, His works, His teachings, His death, and most importantly, the testimony of His resurrection. His ministry revealed the heart of God, His compassion for humanity, and His power over sin, sickness, and death. The resurrection of Jesus stands as the cornerstone of the Christian faith, proving that He is not merely a teacher or prophet, but God manifest in the flesh.
The Spread of Christ’s Teaching in the Book of Acts
Following His resurrection and ascension, His ministry revealed the heart of God, His compassion for humanity, and His power over sin, sickness, and death. The resurrection of Jesus stands as the cornerstone of the Christian faith, proving that He is not merely a teacher or prophet, but God manifest in the flesh.
Following His resurrection and ascension, the spread of His teaching and the formation of His spiritual body, the Church, are recorded in the book of Acts of the Apostles. This book documents the continuation of Christ’s work through His followers, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Acts shows how ordinary men and women were transformed and commissioned to carry the message of salvation to the world.
To understand the foundations of the Church, one must carefully read and observe the teachings, practices, and doctrines established in the book of Acts. This is where the pattern for entering into the movement of Christ is clearly revealed. The early believers did not rely on tradition or human opinion; instead, they followed divine instruction. Entire households and communities became part of this growing body known as the Church.
The Biblical Pattern for Entering the Church
A careful study of Acts chapter 2, Acts chapter 8, Acts chapter 10, and Acts chapter 19 provides clear insight into the biblical foundation for entering into this spiritual organization. These chapters reveal repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, water baptism in His name, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit as essential elements of the apostolic message. Together, they establish the biblical pattern that the early Church followed without deviation.
The Epistles, beginning with the book of Romans, were written to these established churches. These letters outline the lifestyle, conduct, and spiritual maturity expected of those who have obeyed the instructions for entry into Christ. They explain how believers are to live in holiness, love, obedience, and faith, knowing that their lives will be examined and rewarded by God.
A Personal Invitation to Understand and Respond
May you understand this clearly if you are seeking truth. The invitation is not limited by background, history, or status. The question is simple and deeply personal: Why not me? And why not you? God’s call is still reaching for hearts today, just as it did in the days of the apostles.
