But the Bible also tells us that God, despite having no obligation towards us, “is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loves us” (Ephesians 2:4).
God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty of our sin on our behalf. Jesus took the form of a man, suffered, and died on the cross— an event so significant that our calendar years became recorded as BC (“before Christ”) and AD. God chose to reconcile our relationship with Him even though we were enemies (Romans 5:10).
Three days after He died, Jesus rose from the grave to heaven, thus defeating the power of sin, death and hell. Only the love of God can release us from the power of sin!
God offers us a free gift that we can choose to accept by believing that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour.
If we confess and repent of our sins, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We will be destined for eternal life in heaven with God instead of eternal death in hell separated from God.
This is the gospel (‘good news’)— that Jesus saves us by paying a penalty that we cannot pay ourselves. We pray you will enter into real life through Jesus Christ today!
