Axiom #5:
Jesus Christ is the most valuable treasure any heart can receive.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys

Axiom #4:
Satan can’t create, he can only pervert.

Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”

John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Hebrews 11:25 “Choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.”

As a created and thus finite being, Satan is not able to to create anything. The only power that the Satan has is the power that the Lord has chosen to give to him. Thus in the present times as well as in history, Satan has only been able to take that which the Lord created and pervert it to attempt to deceive the nations into believing his lies. Thus there is always something that the deception can be traced to a truth that was created by God.

Axiom #3:
Christians today are living like pagans because their feet are on two different foundations.

James 1:8 “Being a double-minded man unstable in all his ways.”

As Christians, we must believe on Jesus Christ’s atonement for our sins as Redeemer and yet we so often forget about placing our faith in Him as Creator. If Jesus Christ was not truly the redeemer of mankind, a belief that we see as prevalent in the American culture, those believers are standing upon one foundation of the Gospel of Jesus and also upon the opposing worldview which states that the Genesis account is fiction and just a good story. If there is not a literal understanding of the issues in Genesis there is no need for physical atonement for the physical death of Jesus Christ. Upon such a foundation no man is able to stand, they must admit that their views contradict each other, and this is what James is talking about, sharing two opposing world views are personally destructive.

Axiom #2:
There is a priority of God in all things.

Colossians 1:16-17 “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

Revelation 22:13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Axiom Dictum #1:
God created all things from nothing

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.”

God as an infinite being, outside of time, created time space and matter. This ex nihilo (out of nothing) creation took place over the course of a literal six-day solar week involving all three persons of the Trinity. Ex nihilo creation also reveals that God is omnipotent and is the Ultimate Cause of everything.
