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 me to live with Him and talk to him, and generally enjoy life together - not just for 80 or so years, but forever! However, humans can't resist temptation, and disobey God. This can be a simple white lie, envy or even lusting after that last piece of chocolate cake! 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, never felt envious, never took more than his fair share of cake! But 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 get that bridge? Simply by admitting that you're not perfect, believing in Jesus - his life, death and resurrection; asking for his forgiveness.
