He gave us his greatest gift when we needed it the most.
Are you feeling weighed down by feelings of guilt and despair? Take comfort in the teachings of the Bible that the Gospel brings. The Gospel is the good news that, despite our imperfections and sins, we can be forgiven, redeemed, and welcomed into God's embrace through our faith in Jesus.
The message of the Gospel starts with God, who created the world and everything in it. At the beginning of time, everything was perfect. However, things have changed. Today, the natural world has been marred by decay and destruction, replacing the peace and safety that once existed. Similarly, human relationships were once characterized by equality, acceptance, and harmony, but now, conflict, exploitation, and domination have become commonplace.

The root cause of corruption and chaos in our world is sin. We all fall short of moral perfection and holiness, and our own sins hold us accountable for eternal separation from God. Fortunately, the gospel provides a solution to our need for forgiveness and restoration. Understanding our sinfulness is crucial in order to appreciate the incredible grace and acceptance offered by Jesus.
If you are feeling the weight of guilt and condemnation, there is Good News for you! Because God is not only just but also loving, He accomplished rescue for you! God came to earth as the man Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life for you, died in your place for your sins on the cross, and rose again from the dead. He has promised to forgive the past, present, and future sins of all who trust in Him. He has promised to make you a new person from the inside out. He will chose to see only the righteousness of God when He looks at you for the rest of your life, in your best and worst moments, if you will ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and make you His own. How is this possible? Because, as Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” (NLT)
All you have to do is place your trust (or faith) in the promises that Jesus has made and believe that He truly is who He claimed to be. Take a look at the benefits that this kind of life-changing faith provides:
The Bible says that experiencing forgiveness and beginning a relationship with God is as simple as trusting in Jesus Christ, and confessing your faith in Him. God’s promise to you is that, “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9 NKJV)If you are ready to know God and receive His forgiveness, here is a suggested prayer you can use to express your heart to Him:
Father, I understand that I am guilty and broken. I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died for my sins and that He rose again and is alive today. I am putting my trust in Him for forgiveness of my sins and restoration of my broken relationship with You. Forgive my sins. Fill me with Your strength to begin living a new life for you. Based on my faith in the life, death and resurrection Jesus accomplished for me, I believe that You have accepted me as Your child forever. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
