God (God, Abba, Father, Papa), loves you!
The Bible says,“This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.”John 3:16 The Message (MSG) The problem is…
All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
Jesus is proving a point here, that all have sinned. Who is so innocent that they can throw the first stone? MEDIA credit: History Channel, The Bible Miniseries
“Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, ‘The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.’ Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.” John 8:7-8 The Message (MSG)
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago, God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
God (Abba, Father, Papa) demonstrates His own love for us while we are still sinners.
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — you can live forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Savior, Lord and King.
Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You’ve even seen him!” John 14:6-7The Message (MSG)
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Savior, Lord and King.
If you want to accept Christ as your Savior, Lord and King, and you want to turn from your sins, just ask Him. Ask Jesus by praying a prayer like this:
“Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord, Savior and King. I want to love you, love others, and serve you…always.”
