| John 3:16
We have all seen it a million times. There are signs everywhere. You see them at sporting events, on billboards, t-shirts, bumper stickers, hats. It is conceivable that there may be people in the United States who don't know what these signs are really trying to say, but most could identify that it is related to Christianity or Jesus. The chance that you, or someone you might know, your children, your neighbor, your wife, your husband, your parents, might not really get the message delivered in this one verse...That's Why We Are Here!
John 3:16 (New International Version) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. | God chose you.Each and every one of youHe loved each of us so much that he gave his life for each and everyone of us. He paid our debt and reconciled us to God the Father. It's not just for a certain few. His salvation is not just for one group, not just for those who are always doing good deeds. It was for the thief that was on the cross next to Jesus at the crucifixion. You have always been in his plans. His sacrifice was planned just for you. Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. |
|  | God wants you to have a wonderful future with him.We were created in His image to dwell with him in perfection, the Garden of Eden for ever. The only way to repair the rift in our relationship with Him was to make the ultimate sacrifice. Through His death and resurrection we can be reconciled and reunited with our destiny, to live in the presence of the Lord forever. He never wanted you to feel alone. He never wanted you to feel unwelcome or unloved. He has always wanted to have a loving, tangible relationship with you. That's right, you. No matter who you are, what you have done in the past. No matter how unworthy you may feel. His blood has purchased your place with Him in eternity.If you don’t know Him...That's Why We Are Here! | The God who created the heavens and the earth did not become a man, suffer a horrible death, and rise again three days later just to offer you a religion. It's all about a RELATIONSHIP with Him! |
