"Hey! Hold up... Don't we have a Queen?" Well yes, and the Bible teaches to obey, honour and pray for those in government. BUT, the Bible also teaches that God created the entire Universe in all its beauty, and said that it was good. God is so good He gave us the free will to dishonour Him... which we did; with the result that the whole world got pretty twisted (the fall). Imperfect sinful man can no longer stand in the presence of awesome Holy God and live. We also see the effect of the fall throughout nature, for example in sickness and natural disasters. What a mess. The Bible teaches, and we believe, that Jesus was who He said he was: The perfect Son of God. (He said: 'If you have seen me, you have seen the Father' ). Much Judaic teaching is about sacrifice; that a sacrifice is required to make up for what weve done wrong. That's where Jesus comes in. Because of Gods Great Love for us, the Son of God left His Father in heaven to be born a man. He lived without going against God's will, became the sacrifice on the cross for all that is wrong in us, and rose again, overcoming death.A true King, worthy of our Worship. Now the way to God is restored, our sinful nature has been dealt with on that cross. Through Christ, we are able to enter God's presence, without fear of condemnation.. To Join His Kingdom: ask God to forgive you for all youve done wrong. Accept the sacrifice Jesus paid for you on the cross. Ask Him to come into your life and fill you with His Holy Spirit, who will help you to live life in all its fullness, with His Amazing power for living. Share the good news and meet regularly with others who know Him. Joh 18:37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, Rev 17:14 He is Lord of lords and King of kings and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
