Life can feel like a journey full of questions: Why am I here? What happens when life ends? The Bible explains that we were created for a relationship with God, but our choices and actions—called sin—separate us from Him. This separation creates a deep need for salvation, a way to be reconciled with our Creator.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23 (NIV)
Sin isn't just about big mistakes; it's anything that pulls us away from God's perfect standard. The consequence of sin is spiritual death—a permanent separation from God.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
Here’s the good news: God loves you and doesn’t want you to stay separated from Him. He sent Jesus Christ to pay the price for your sins by dying on the cross and rising again. Through Jesus, you can receive forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 (NIV)
Salvation is God’s free gift, offered to everyone. It’s not about earning it through good deeds but accepting it through faith in Jesus. If you feel a tug in your heart to know more, that’s a great place to start. Start reading the book of John, pray for guidance, or connect with someone who can share more about this hope.
