In need of a better life?
Are you looking for a better life? Are you looking for love, help, vision and purpose? Are you seeking to find out more about Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ came to Earth and showed God to be gentle, loving, aware of our pains, self-centeredness, and shortcomings, yet deeply wanting a relationship with us. Jesus revealed that although God views you and me as sinners, worthy of His punishment, His love for us ruled and God came up with a different plan. God himself took on the form of man and accepted the punishment for our sin on our behalf. Do you think this is far-fetched? Have questions? Want proof? Want to know more about Him?
The Bible says we would come to love God because He first loved us. Jesus died in our place so we could be forgiven. Of all the religions known to humanity, only through Jesus will you see God reaching toward humanity, providing a way for us to have a relationship with him. Jesus proves a divine heart of love, meeting our needs, drawing us to himself. Because of Jesus death and resurrection, He offers us a new life today. We can be forgiven, fully accepted by God and genuinely loved by God. He says, in Jeremiah 31:3: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." and this is how you can be.
John 3:16, the most famous verse in the Bible tells us that:
"God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten that whoever believes on Him would not perish but would have everlasting life"
This verse tells us three things about the person and work of Jesus:
I. He is the Son of God, in fact, Jesus is God in the flesh. John 1: 14, 18
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
II. He is the Savior of the world- Matt. 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
III. He is the source of life- John 1:3-5
3 All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
