- Genesis 1v27
You are the height of God’s creation - made in God’s image. God is spirit but He made you with a physical body and a soul that never dies.
God made you a moral being and gave you free will to choose and act. He gave you emotions to feel and express yourself, and his creativity to make things of beauty.
Through the disobedience of the first man and woman, sin entered the world, spoiling the beauty and breaking our relationship with God.
We have all broken God’s laws and fall short of God’s perfect standard and because God is holy, He cannot accept us as we are and must punish sinners. In fact, if it is not dealt with, our sin will separate us from God forever.
- John 3v16
God was not content to leave it there but at great personal cost in sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world, He made a way to bring back His prodigal children.
As a gift of His amazing grace and love He paid for our sins as Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice in our place. God simply wants us to believe and turn to Him.
- Matthew 11v28-30
