Jesus came to the earth as a baby, grew in favor and wisdom, died on the cross for you and me, and rose again and sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Jesus came to be a light in the darkness. ...read more

    God’s love is the ultimate reality and truth. Nothing compares with God’s love. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. But we must accept God’s love.

The nature of God’s love demands that we have the power to choose whether we accept or reject the love of God. ...read more
