Know God
The God of Hope already knows you, loves you, and pursues you. This is not about religion and rules, but a relationship with our Creator.
The truth is that we all rebel in many ways against our holy God. Sin means to miss the mark and results in separation from God. We need forgiveness.
Jesus died for our sins and is risen from the grave. In Jesus, there is infinite hope. No one loves you more than the Lord. Love includes sacrifice and action. Salvation is free for us, but not for Jesus.
Grace is an undeserved gift. When you decide to follow Jesus, you have peace with God, a pardon for all of your sins, eternal life, and a place in God’s family forever. Just choose hope. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, we have an indestructible hope daily and eternally.
Is there anything preventing you from making the decision to put your trust in Jesus now?
It’s the best decision you will ever make.
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
THE ONE DECISION
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
I HAVE DOUBTS
The Bible is full of characters who had doubts about their faith and the trustworthiness of God, including Adam and Eve, Jonah, Gideon, John the Baptist, and Thomas to name a few.
Doubts are a normal part of the human experience, but they need to be managed properly. Doubts can lead to disobedience if not addressed, but they can also drive one to a deeper relationship with God if handled correctly.
DOES GOD EXIST?
There are several types of evidence for God’s existence, including the intelligent design and beauty of creation, the human desire for relationships and worship, the moral compass we possess, and the personal revelation of God through the Bible and Jesus Christ.
What is important is that knowing about God is not enough. It’s essential to have a personal relationship and trust in God, especially through faith in Jesus as the Messiah and Savior.
IS GOD GOOD?
In answering this question, it’s important to distinguish between the cultural view of “good” (based on immediate feelings or desires) with God’s standard of goodness, which is perfect and holy.
God’s goodness is not just a theological concept, but can be personally experienced and enjoyed by those who put their trust in Jesus.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
Truth is critically important in all areas of our lives, from academics to relationships to faith.
The discovery of truth is made more difficult with the lies, deception, and false teaching prevalent throughout the world, which can lead to confusion and harmful consequences.
Jesus is “the way, the truth and the life” and the Bible provides the ultimate source of truth that we should trust.
I DON’T LIKE RELIGION
Many people have had negative experiences with religion, often due to hypocrisy, abuse, or false teachings they’ve witnessed in religious settings.
Jesus himself was critical of religious hypocrisy and self-righteousness, so those feelings are understandable.
What you must know is that Jesus offers a relationship of love and truth, which is different from the “dead religion” that has hurt people.
