Why Jesus Is Better
Many have settled for having Jesus as their assistant. “Jesus, help me do this” or “Jesus, help me get that.” But Jesus is so much more and it’s only as we understand this that we realize our overwhelming need for him.

How God Speaks Through Jesus
Before continuing in Genesis and the rest of the First Testament, it might be good to pause and understand the differences between how God used to speak to his people and how he speaks to them today. This takes us to the Book of Hebrews.

God’s Original Design
Ephesians 1:4 says Christ “chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him.” This was and remains God’s desire for his creation. He wants us to align with who we were created to be and to completely trust him in every area of our lives.
