The purpose of this program and other programs in this catechetical series is to give honor and glory to God, our Father and to obey Jesus command to spread the “Good News to all the nations” Let us pray: Father we thank you for the gift of life you have given us. We thank you for most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, whom You sent to teach us to know, love and serve you, and who suffered and died for our redemption. We thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, and pray that the Holy Spirit will open our minds and hearts as we strive through our studies to know, love and serve you better. We offer this thanksgiving and petition in Jesus name. Amen

EXISTENCE OF GOD HOWDO WE KNOW THAT GOD EXISTS?
WE CAN KNOW THAT GOD EXIST BY OUR NATURAL REASONING THE WORLD WE SEE ABOUT US COULD HAVE BEEN MADE ONLY BY A SELF-EXISTING BEING, ALL-WISE AND ALMIGHTY
DIVINE REVELATION GOD REVEALS HIMSELF TO US THROUGH SACRED SCRIPTURE APOSTOLIC TRADITION INWHICH GOD HIMSELF HAS REVEALED TO US
DIVINE REVELATION GOD’S COMMUNICATION OF HIMSELF, BY WHICH HE MAKES KNOWN THE MYSTERY OF HIS DIVINE PLAN, A GIFT OF SELF-COMMUNICATION WHICH IS REALIZED BY DEEDS AND WORDS OVER TIME, AND MOST FULLY BY SENDING US HIS OWN DIVINE SON, JESUS CHRIST, CCC 50
SACRED SCRIPTURE THE SACRED WRITINGS OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS THE BOOKS WHICH CONTAIN THE TRUTH OF GOD’S REVELATION AND WERE COMPOSED BY HUMAN AUTHORS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT CCC 105
APOSTOLIC TRADITION COMES FROM THE APOSTLES AND HANDS ON WHAT THEY RECEIVED FROM JESUS’ TEACHING AND EXAMPLE AND WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. CCC 83
GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS THE EARTH ALL OF NATURE
GOD CREATED MAN & WOMEN ALL THAT IS SEEN AND UNSEEN
CREATION He is the Creator of all things, heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them GOD
CREATION The difference between human beings and all other things God has created is? Human beings have bodies, intellect and free will
CREATION What do we mean when we say humans have a free will and intellect Free will means: One can make choices Intellect means: Humans can think and reason Freewill and an intellect comes with Responsibility
CREATION Responsibility means We are responsible for “ALL” of our Thoughts, Words, Actions, and Deeds. All of which have CONSEQUENCES
CREATION Responsibility means When we stand before God at the end of our life we will have to answer for the choices we made in life. We won’t be able to blame anyone for our actions.
CREATION THE HIGHEST CREATURES GOD FASHIONED ARE SPIRITS. THEY ARE CALLED? THE THREE ANGELS NAMED IN THE SCRIPTURES ARE? ANGELS RAPHAEL GABRIEL MICHAEL
CREATION Good Angels are in Heaven Bad Angels are in Hell Chief of the fallen Angels is Satan
CREATION • MAN IS COMPOSED OF: BODYAND SOUL HUMAN BEINGS ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD
CREATION HAVING BEEN CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD MEANS HUMAN BEINGS HAVE AN INTELLECT AND A FREE WILL
CREATION The first human beings God created were: ADAM AND EVE He put them in the GARDEN OF EDEN Sometimes called PARADISE
CREATION ADAM AND EVE WERE TEMPTED BY? SATAN TO EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
CREATION THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE IS CALLED ORIGINAL SIN BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE GOD DROVE THEM OUT OF PARADISE THEIR PUNISHMENT WAS SIN DEATH SUFFERING
CREATION ADAM’S DESCENDENTS ARE BORN WITH ORIGINAL SIN AND WILL BECAUSE OF ADAM AND EVE SIN, SUFFER AND DIE
CREATION WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED THEY LOST? SANCTIFYING GRACE A FREE GIFT FROM GOD
CREATION SANCTIFYING GRACE? ALLOWS US TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD TO SHARE IN HIS DIVINE NATURE TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE
