John 3:16-17

God has always loved the world and every person in it.
And that includes YOU!
It was God's passionate love for the world that was the impetus for Him to send His one and only Son to planet earth two thousand years ago to let each one of us know just how precious we are to Him.
And He just didn't say He loved us, He demonstrated His love completely and fully (Romans 5:8) by sending His beloved Son to show us what our He was really like.
And Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, came willingly to lay His life down as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28) because His desire was that we could know His Father as our Father too (John 20:17).
So if you think God is somehow disconnected from you and perhaps even angry at you, think again. He loves you with all His heart and gave up all that He loved in order to gain your love (Romans 8:32).
And be assured in knowing this... Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn it but to save it! And that includes YOU! His once and for all sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10) was planned before the foundation of the world so that you could be part of His amazing family forever (Ephesians 1:4-5).
No matter what you've done, God wants you to know that His beloved Son not only died for the entire world, but He exchanged His life for your life too.
Why? Because you mean the world to Him and He wants you to come home (John 14:6).
