The Basic Christian Message: A brief statement of basic Christian message which I hope to proclaim or share with persons I encounter in my ministry.
God loves everyone. But because man chose to do something opposite of God and chose something else, he denied God and God's love for man. Man now knew what it was like to deny God and follow after something else. It has been this way since the beginning. Everyday people make choices for God and against God. The key is that God knew that man would never be strong enough to achieve a state where he would always choose Himself so he sent himself disguised in robes of flesh into the world as Jesus. After teaching on the earth how to choose God he laid down his life in forgiveness for our sins (choices against God). Everyone sins and falls short of God and makes choices everyday against God but if one accepts the grace of forgiveness from Jesus then they are redeemed in God's sight. God doesn't want anyone to die and not find new life in him. He knows that we will fail him and will make choices on our own against him but that makes his grace and our love for a Savior and Lord so much deeper and stronger. When we choose Christ we deny everything else that we are and commit ourselves to Him. We essentially lay down our lives because we lord it over to Him. God loves everyone.
