He loves you so much that he made a way for you to be in right standing with Him <i>right here</i>, <i>right now </i>in this life and experience His great Love for YOU now and throughout all eternity! But, the only way we can enter into this relationship with Him is through the precious gift of His Son, Jesus. You see, the Bible tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10). ALL MEANS ALL! That means you, me and everyone - no one is exempt! When sin entered the earth, mankind was separated from this Love relationship with Him - so He made a Way - the only way ~ Jesus! Mankind, through efforts of good works and complicated religious "do's and don't's" has fallen short of the mark to reach the heart of God. But He made it simple and uncomplicated ....</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.
