"We are saved, not just because we are loved, but also so that God can put us to work sharing that love of His with others."

"I will give you the treasures of darkness..." Isaiah 45:3

"At the simplest level, that what we will one day go through, Jesus, our Lord and Savior, has already gone through before us. That where we shall one day be, He Himself has already been."

In Jesus Christ, whatever it is, whatever we have been or whatever we have done – we are forgiven. We are forgiven. We are saved. And we are given life anew – life the way it was always supposed to be.

According to the Gospels, the first three commands Jesus issued were Repent, Believe, and Follow Me. Taken together these three commands tell us a lot, not only about Jesus’ mission on earth, but also about what it means for us to become involved in that mission as His disciples.
