Sometimes we have bad ideas and we make bad decisions. God had a good idea which was to send Jesus to take your place. Your sins are forgiven. You are at peace with God.

The bill of our guilt, the debt of our sin, it has been paid for. It has been accomplished 100% by our Savior Jesus. There's nothing more that we need to do.

It's free and it's coming to all who believe in him.
The Christmas Story.
This Christmas unwrap Jesus. Maybe it's been a long time since you have read the Bible. Maybe you've never read it. Read what God did in the sending of his Son as a great gift to forgive all of your sins.
He didn't condemn you. He didn't throw you aside. He sent Jesus. So that you can be freely forgiven.
