Deep down, there's a place within each of us that is made for one thing: a relationship with God. No matter how hard we try to cover it up or fill it with something else, we will never be
satisfied.
Our hearts will remain restless until they find their home with God. That deep, hidden part of you is there even if you haven't realized it until now.
God wants to give you a better life but unfortunately, there's a problem. A barrier exists between God and humankind. It's called sin, a word that refers to all the ways we fall short of God's
design for humanity.
God knew that we needed to be rescued. He loved us so much that He devised a plan to free us from the grasp of sin and provide forgiveness for all time.
Jesus Christ is God's rescue plan.
He died on that cross and was buried in a tomb, but three days later he rose from the grave. Through His death and resurrection, He removed the barrier between humankind and God. Because He was
also God, Jesus conquered sin and death on our behalf so we could truly live.
God already knows everything about you. Come as you are. In order to receive God's gift of salvation you don't need to clean yourself up first, start behaving better, or anything of the sort. You
can take the first step right now.
