'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.'
(John 3:16)
The bible makes it clear that 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' It also tells us that 'the wages of sin is death.' We are all under the wrath of God because of our sin. If we continue in our sin, we will face eternal death as God's just punishment for our sin.
However, because of God's love for sinners, He sent
His Son the Lord Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners.
As the light house shines forth in the
darkness, so Jesus Christ came into the world to be the 'Light of the
world,' in order that we might no longer live in darkness (sin) but come
to Him, the light of life.
Jesus, by His perfect life and by the death that He died in our place upon the Cross of Calvary, paid the price that God required for the punishment of our sins.
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead proved that His sacrifice for sin upon the Cross had satisfied a Holy God, and also guaranteed the salvation of all who would believe in Him.
Because Jesus Christ lives He is able to grant forgiveness of sins and give eternal life to every sinner who will turn away from their sin and trust in Him alone for salvation.
God calls you to repent, to forsake, to turn away from your sin and through faith alone in Jesus Christ enter into the Kingdom of God and be saved.
As our lifeboat is ever ready to save those who are perishing at sea, so the Lord Jesus Christ is able, ready and willing to save (rescue from sin) all who will come to Him in faith.
We would lovingly urge you to consider the challenge of the Gospel of God's Son, Jesus Christ to you.
