God loves you and wants you to fully experience the peace and life that only He can give. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Being at peace with God is not automatic, because human beings by nature are separated from God. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord."
God's love bridges the gap of separation between God and humanity. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for our sins. In the Bible, Jesus Christ says, "I'm the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
God invites us to His love by crossing the bridge through trusting Jesus Christ. This means accepting Christ's death on the cross as payment for our personal sins and receiving Him as our Savior and Lord. The Bible says, "To all who received Him [Jesus Christ], to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). |
