THE SYMBOL
THE ICHTHUS FISH
The symbol seen on many bumpers and tee shirts has developed over the years
as the logo or sign for "Christian".
It finds it's beginning in the first century as a secret symbol and through the years
has become abbreviated and commercialized as seen above.
The God Rules team has developed a sign or symbol for God The Father
whom Jesus himself said we should worship.
However, over the years the worship of God The Father
has been exchanged for
excusive worship of Jesus the Son. Let us not forget it was the Father who loved us so much
that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.
For that we should worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.
