The Basic Message of the Bible

The basic message of the Bible is this: God made us, the human family, to have a holy love relationship with Him.
US GOD

But the first man sinned, and as a result, death came into the world, and the rest of the human family (including you and I) were born with a selfish, sinful nature. And we have sinned ourselves.

Our sin brought a great gulf between us and God. The Bible calls that separation Death.

In fact, if we die physically while being spiritually dead, we will forever be separated from God in a place called Hell.

The good news is that God is love and has provided a way for us to not go to hell (John 3:16).

God the Father sent God the Son, Jesus, into the world to die on the Cross and rise from the dead so that we could have our relationship with God restored.

In His death, Jesus, the sinless God-man, satisfied the holy justice of God so we could be forgiven. Through His Resurrection, Jesus conquered death and became the bridge back to God.
