Mat
1- God exsists. His existence is taken for granted but his nature can vary depending on the passage- vengeful or loving? Generous or exacting? Etc.
2- Sin. Mankind is so beneath God because of this sin. What we are supposed to do about it varies depending of the pasage you read. Sacrifice animals for it? Stop doing it? Thank God for having his son die so we can be forgiven for it? Repent from it?
What exactly sin is can vary too. Something inherent that we can't avoid? Something we sometimes callously chose to do? Something we don't even know we do but God doesn't like anyway?
That is mostly it! The resulting message from the above presuppositions are things like- Love God because he is greater than you/holds your life in his hands/can help you/etc.
