God is the creator of all things.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” - Genesis 1:1 (NIV) “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” - Isaiah 40:26 (NIV)

God created us in His own image.

“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” - Genesis 1:26 (NIV)

We rejected God

We have all sinned. Sin is often thought of only as our wrongdoings, however, it is more than that – sin is our rebellion and rejection of God and His will for us.

God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins, by dying on a cross, and rising again. Jesus is the only Saviour – He alone is perfect and without sin. So, through Jesus, our sins can be forgiven and there is no more separation from God! This is how God showed us His grace - an undeserved gift, which cannot be earned.

“Praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade – kept in heaven for you.” - 1 Peter 1:3-4 (NIV)
