       God saves us, but he doesn’t just do that and leave us alone to live life ourselves. He doesn’t leave us to just follow a list of rules from the Bible, or from a church. God gives us his acceptance, when we believe in him, so we can confidently live out our lives before him, by his power working within us. Today you may feel very sinful, very separated from God. But, this is now your opportunity to come to know God. This is your time. God welcomes people into his arms who want to have a relationship with him. He is not a mean, stern, or resisting God. No, he wants more people to come to know him. He already knows you, and he wants you to know him and have life through him. When Jesus was here on the earth, quite a long time ago, he died on the cross to provide a way for you and for me to come to know God. See, our sin separates us from God, and the only way we can know him is to have a payment for our sin. We cannot make it good ourselves, we cannot provide a sacrifice for all of our sins that makes us acceptable to God. We cannot do enough good to outweigh our bad. Our bad is not erased by our good.
