INTRODUCTION
Do spirit beings exist? If they do, where did they come from? Did they evolve, as many people think physical life-forms evolved? Or were they created?
What do you believe about spirit beings? There are countless theories and beliefs, and they can’t all be right. How can we know what the truth is?
There is one—and only one—absolute, 100 percent reliable source that reveals the truth about spirit beings. That source is the Bible—the written revelation of the Creator of the universe.
Here’s what the Bible tells us about the spirit world:
All spirit beings that exist were created by God the Father and Jesus Christ. These two infinitely powerful beings are also spirit, but They have lived eternally and were not created. In the spirit realm, They created angels—sentient beings with individual freedom of choice and with greater might than humans.
One of those angels chose to pursue an alternate way of life and rebelled against God, becoming known as Satan. One-third of the angels eventually joined him, becoming enemies of God and then of His human creation. Satan’s deceitful tactics include spreading many fallacies about God and the spirit realm.
God created humans in His own image with the potential to one day actually be born into the very God family, rising above the angels. This is the true, amazing potential of every human being—including you!
In the pages to come, we’ll explore each of these incredible truths in greater detail.
