Good News for You

There's good news for you. This news is from God to you. It's good news that you can share with everyone, because it's for everyone. "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere" (Mark 16:15, NLT). The Good News comes to you through Jesus Christ. He wants you to share it with everyone.

The good news is God loves you. You may ask, "How could God possibly love me? I've made a mess of my life. Why would God love me?" Well, the answer is found simply in three words. "God is love" (1 John 4:8). He made you to love you. He wants you to believe and receive his love. God wants a love relationship with you.

The good news is your sins, not some but all, are forgiven through God's Son Jesus Christ. He died for your sins. As a believer in Christ, your sin debt before God is paid in full. Good News for you and everyone, God loves sinners. That's all of us. "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners" (Romans 5:8).

The good news is you have eternal life in Christ. Believing in Jesus Christ is receiving eternal life. Eternal life is experiencing God's love forever. "Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39).
