God is reaching out to you.
He has been for some time. Have you experienced a divine nudge without taking it to heart? God has been speaking to you through His creation--nature & people--concerning His amazing power but you may not have been listening.
Are you receptive to hearing God speak to you now? |

God loves you like crazy.
He is absolutely desperate for you. No one could or will love you more. You are so special to your Father in heaven, His thoughts toward you outnumber the sand of the sea. He knows us intimately--better than we know ourselves. And in spite of all our disfunctionalities, God passionately loves us!

God's love is demonstrated in the cross.
Don't misunderstand this key point. Jesus didn't die on the cross to show you how much He loves you. Jesus died on the cross to pay your sin debt. A debt He didn't owe.
Because you owe a debt you can never pay. We delude ourselves hoping to be good enough to balance the scales of divine justice. Such pride makes a mockery of the cross. Christ's cross levels the playing field, declaring humankind hopelessly wretched. That Christ would willing absorb the wrath of God in our place and offer forgiveness and reconciliation in exchange is all the evidence of God's selfless love we will ever need. |
