The authors of the American Declaration of Independence sent a clear message to their

homeland and the nations of Europe. King George William Frederick III was king of Great Britain in 1776. The fledgling 13 states desired to be free of him and his government, which sponsored both political and personal oppression. The now-former British colonist Thomas Jefferson declared, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Now the decision to revolt was based on religious faith and principle. The King had taken away human rights bestowed on all men by the Creator God. The colonialists told the whole world that they were taking back their God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These simple assertions started a revolution that profoundly affected the course of world history. The inspiration gained from these words led to the birth of the single greatest nation in human history. The thought put into words then still have their impact today. These few sentences have resonated deep within the hearts of millions not only in the United States of America, but also throughout the world. Human beings have no trouble understanding their timeless meaning. Everyone desires an abundant life of freedom. Each man, woman and child on this planet wants to find real, lasting happiness. But for many living in our world, abundant life, liberty and happiness simply do not exist. The World Health Organization reported in August 2012 that one person commits suicide every 40 seconds, more than 1.6 million people worldwide lose their lives to violence. Where is the life, liberty and happiness in these figures? Philosophers, scientists, educators and even religious leaders have sought to uncover the secret to happiness. Some believe and teach that the secret can be discovered through human reason. Geneticists are searching for the happiness gene. Educators believe that happiness comes through improved knowledge. Religious leaders of all faiths insist that happiness comes by greater spiritual awareness. However, many are pessimisticnot believing happiness is possible. Some even go so far as to suppose that Almighty God prevents human happiness. What is the truth? Did the Founding Fathers of the United States of America get it right? Is there an Almighty God who has given all human beings the right to live abundantly and freely, and to be happy? Can we find true, lasting happiness? There is a way! A World of Sorrow For the first Adam had the opportunity to continue his immortality. For Genesis 2:16-17 states, "And the LORD God commanded the man, 'You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; (17) but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.'" And even though this first Adam was created immortal, and a little lower than the angels, he was created in the image and likeness of the God's. This first Adam was given opportunity to qualify as this planets ruler. He could have become successor to the former archangel Lucifer, now renamed Satan. The first Adam was put to the test to determine whether he would truly obey the Almighty Creator and prove worthy to rule this planet as a representative of the Eternal One. But once Satan had sexual relations with Mother Eve, she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. And that serpent, called the devil and Satan could now - with the sons of God - create a "new" race, a new blood-line and build up his own army of children to make war with and totally
