The story of redemption is the story of a just and loving God calling
lost and rebellious creatures back to Himself. He has been writing this
grand and glorious narrative of His goodness and grace since before
time began. We urge you to explore this story further.
In the beginning, God created this world good and peaceful and
offered us the opportunity of unbroken fellowship with Himself – for His
glory. However, as Genesis 3 tells us, things went wrong. Through one
man's disobedience, we fell from this joyful state of fellowship. Sin
entered our hearts, and the world became twisted and fractured. The
harmony and peace that creation once enjoyed were damaged by sin and
broken in disrepair.
Since that time, God has patiently and purposefully continued the
story of redemption. God sent His only Son, Jesus, Who came and lived a
perfect, sinless life and offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sin on
the cross.
Jesus endured God's wrath on behalf of sin. It was a dark and
horrendous moment of suffering and death, yet peace, beauty and hope
burst forth as Christ rose three days later from the grave. That which
was broken God restored through his Son.
Through Christ, we are offered restoration and reconciliation. God
takes what is broken and makes it new. He invites His children into
relationship with Himself and into the newness of life found in Christ.
What God starts, He will bring to completion, and we pray that you
would be woven into the narrative. If you feel Christ inviting you into
this story – into restored relationship with Him – turn to Him in
repentance. Put your trust in Him and the work He accomplished on the
cross to redeem and save you.
