Salvation
The events on the cross and at the resurrection 2000 years ago have forever changed our destinies. We know with a certain confidence that when our bodies die, those who have by faith believed in Christ will spend eternity with him. But what about now? What does the cross have to do with our lives now, before we die, in all of the years that we have left to live on earth? As God has shown throughout history, his mission is to enable people to have a relationship with him. He has spoken plainly about himself and has sent the message of hope and life to us through various people and means, primarily in Jesus and the cross. And now, he has given us his mission and invited us to tell others how to have a relationship with God! His purpose of relationship has been fulfilled in us so that it can be fulfilled through us!
