The Good News

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

God created man and woman to be in relationship with Him, but unfortunately they sinned (they disobeyed God's instruction in the Garden of Eden) and this separated them from God, but God didn't want to be separated from them so HE MADE A WAY.

Jesus was the way.

Jesus was God's own son birthed by the virgin Mary. He was a real person (fully God and fully man) who lived a perfect life thousands of years ago. The rulers of the time didn't like that Jesus claimed to be God's son so they sentenced Him to a gruesome death on a cross. That wasn't the end, though. Jesus Christ came BACK TO LIFE and rose from the grave 3 days later (!!!) - conquering sin and death forever. 

Because Christ died and took OUR punishment for sin we are now reconciled to the Father!

Once we repent of our sin and ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior then we receive the Holy Spirit who lives inside of us and get to have a relationship with God and live forever with Him in Heaven - PLUS "more abundantly", as Jesus said in John 10:10, while on earth.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes... (Romans 1:16)
