Love is all you need
God’s love
God cannot live with sins, but He definitely does love you for who you are! Did you know He even proved His love for you[1]?
God created you with a purpose: He longs for a relationship with you[2], today and in the future. God loves you so much, He has no wish for you to be separated from Him because of your sins[3]. God does not want you to come in the judgment after this life, that’s why He created an escape for you!
God’s solution
His true love for you, is the reason God Himself has provided a solution for the problem of sins[4]. He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, Who gave His life to save you from our sins[5]. By believing in God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your Savior of sins and Lord of your life, you can receive complete forgiveness for your sins[6]. That is God’s offer of a judgment-escape for you: only through Jesus Christ you can find God[7]. Do notice that it was a big price being paid by God Himself, to set you free from your sins[8].
Let’s read some more about this unique Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, since He turns out to be the key to get close to God and to receive eternal life after death!
