When God sent His Son to die for the sins of the world, He was thinking about absolutely everybody and about a certain somebody at the same time. He was thinking about YOU.
We've all done wrong things. Not one of us is perfect. No matter how good we might try to look on the outside, God sees what's inside.
Our sin separates us from God. God is holy. That means He is perfect in every way and has never done anything wrong. Our sin deserves punishment.
That punishment is eternal separation from God in a place called hell. And, yes, it's real.
But, God loves you. He loves me. He loves the world. He didn't want to leave us in our sin, with condemnation hanging over our heads.
He made a way - a way for us to be forgiven, a way for us to be freed from sin, and a way for us to know Him and spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Some people will try to tell you there are many ways to heaven. God says there's only one way and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ.
When Jesus died on the cross, He took the punishment I deserved, that you deserved and that the whole world deserves. His blood paid the price for us.
The great news is, Jesus didn't stay dead. He rose from the grave 3 days after His crucifixion and was seen alive by many people.
Right now, Jesus in heaven, seated at the right hand of God the Father.
Do you know what He wants more than anything?
He wants you to get to know Him because He loves you.
He gave His life for you to prove it.
Remember, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
