God is reaching out to us.

He has been for some time. Have you experienced a divine nudge without taking it to heart? God speaks to us through His creation--nature & people--revealing His amazing power but many tune out His voice.

Are you receptive to hearing God speak now?

God loves us like crazy.

He is absolutely desperate for us. No one could or will love you more. We are so special to our Father in heaven, His thoughts toward us 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 us how much He loves us. Jesus died on the cross to pay our sin debt. A debt He didn't owe.

Because we owe a debt we 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.
