You matter to us, because you matter to God.
God created us and wants to be connected with us.
Did you know God uniquely created you – from your fingerprints to your DNA – to display a part of Him that nobody else can? He not only created you, but created you to be in perfect relationship and connection with him. But there’s bad news... (Don’t worry, good news is coming!)
We’ve all disconnected from God.
But don’t we all kind of sense this at times? We know the world isn’t what it should be. Relationships end. Our health betrays us. Life fails to satisfy. What’s going on? At the most basic level, our own wrong choices have disconnected us from God. Even worse, the only way for us to have a perfect, unbroken connection with Him is if we never broke it in the first place. But the connection is already broken, and we keep on breaking it (nobody’s perfect!) – are we hopeless? (Here’s the good news…)
We mattered to God, so he came to reconnect us.
Indeed, we would be hopeless, our connection with God severed, had He not moved toward us. And He did! We mattered so much to God that He sent his perfect Son (Jesus Christ) to live the perfect life none of us could live. And Jesus offers to trade His perfect record for our flawed and disappointing record – if we’ll choose to connect with Him. This connection is not based on our goodness, intelligence or moral behavior, but simply on believing in Jesus – trusting He’s able and willing to reconnect us to God, which He demonstrated and accomplished by His death on the cross. (There’s even more good news…)
We can be reconnected to God (forever!)
When we accept Jesus’ offer to trade His perfect record for our messed-up life, and we’re reconnected with God, something inside us changes. We want to know Jesus better and follow His teachings. This doesn’t make life perfect or easy, but our lives will begin to look more like Jesus and we can look forward to the day when God will heal all disconnection in our lives. Jesus promised that one day all brokenness in us and in our world will be undone. We will experience a perfect reconnection with God, other people, the world around us, and even our own selves. It all starts with being connected to Jesus.
