Purpose
As you read this, you should know that there is a reason for your existence, a reason for you being here. You are not just some random object held on this earth by gravity as it hurtles through space. God wants to have an eternal, personal, intimate relationship with every member of the human race regardless of race, nationality, gender, or social status and that includes you. God brought you into existence so you can have that relationship. You are here to have that relationship. This relationship He wants to have with you is only possible because of Jesus Christ. The purpose of this web site is to show that Jesus Christ desires for every member of the human race to have this eternal, personal, intimate relationship with God with the hope that you might decide that you would like to have this relationship with God for yourself.
This desire of Jesus Christ is expressed in the Bible in 1 Timothy chapter 2, verses 3 and 4:
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:3,4 ESV
God our Savior is Jesus Christ. He has two desires for every member of the human race: To be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth
The first of Christ’s desires, to be saved, is absolutely critical. It is the eternal part of a relationship with God. What does it mean to be saved? A simple way to think of being saved might be to ask yourself this question, “When I die, will I go to heaven?” The only people who will go to heaven when they die are those people who have been saved. The question that may come to you is, “How can someone be saved?” The most direct answer to that question can be found in in the Bible in Acts 16:31a:
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." - Acts 16:31a
If you have never believed
If you have never believed in Jesus Christ, put your trust in Him as your Savior, these verses from the Bible are important for you:
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us -Romans 5:8
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth to die on the cross. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all of the sins of the entire human race were poured out upon Him and judged. No one was left out - you were not left out. All of the work that needs to be done so that you can meet Jesus Christ’s first desire for you, to be saved, was accomplished by Him. There’s no work left to be done. You can begin your eternal, personal, intimate relationship with God by one simple act of faith. As stated above, all that is now required of you to be saved is to accept His work by believing in Him.
In His Word, which is the content of the Bible, Jesus Christ expresses His desire for you to have an eternal relationship with God, He makes a personal appeal to you: Believe in Me
