Good news!
You are valuable. Maybe no one has ever said these words to you: You are valuable. Really! God values you and that is why you are valuable. No matter who you are, or where you come from.
He knew you before you even existed. He already knew what your name would be. You are a unique person with talents, a character and emotions.
You are valuable, loved, and special. You were created and destined to live in relationship with God, the One who created you. Through Jesus Christ, this relationship is possible. Jesus is indeed the way to God the Father.
Because all people have made mistakes (sinned), the relationship with God has been broken.
God loves all people so much that He has come up with the solution to restore the relationship. Out of love, He sent His only Son Jesus to the earth. All the punishment we deserved fell on Jesus. Jesus voluntarily took on all the punishment out of love by dying on the cross.
Jesus also rose from the dead after three days. In this way, He removed the separation between God and people and restored it to be in relationship with you again and to give you a valuable life. The life as God intended.
