The message of the Bible is the good news about Jesus Christ

* We were designed by God to live for Him and to love Him.

* We have been alienated from God because we have rebelled against Him. The result of our rebellion is that we deserve God's judgement.

* God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to take the punishment for our rebellion and bring us back to Him.

* Because Jesus died on the cross and rose again, everyone who puts their trust in Him can receive forgiveness, a a relationship with God, a genuine purpose for living, and a certain hope of eternal life.
