It really is good news.
Knowing Jesus is the greatest thing ever, it will change your life - guaranteed. This is how it goes...
We believe that God created the universe and everything within it. God created us to live with him and talk to him, and generally enjoy life together - not just for 80 or so years, but forever! However, we chose to walk away from this perfect relationship - our selfishness took over. This disobedience resulted in us being separate from God.
Now, no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot bridge that gap. We can go to church, sing hymns really loudly, help thousands of elderly people cross the road, and we would be no nearer to God.
God hates being separated from us - he loves us too much. He knew only one way to bring us close to him so we could have a proper relationship with him - father to son. So he sent his only son, Jesus, to earth as a human. Except there was one difference: Jesus was the only perfect man ever to walk the earth. He never sinned! Never made a mistake, but instead showed what God was really like. He sacrificed himself to pay the penalty for all of our mistakes - both past and future. This enables Jesus to bridge the gap between us and God.
And how do we cross that bridge? It starts with seeing for the first time how great and loving God is. Pretty soon, we'll need to admit we're not perfect and want God's forgiveness. Believing in Jesus to pay for our forgiveness is the key. And God kindles faith in our hearts - faith in Jesus' life, death and resurrection.
