"He makes all things beautiful in His time." ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11
There is always hope.
Even in the broken places, God brings beauty.
You are deeply loved by the God who made you.
Though we've all turned away from Him, God sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue us. Jesus took our sin upon Himself, died for us, and rose again - offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe in Him.
This hope isn't found in trying harder, but in trusting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The Good News of the Gospel:
Romans 3:23
"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..."
No one is perfect. We are all sinners who fail to meet God's perfect standard. We neglect to follow the Ten Commandments. We fail to love God with all our heart and soul and mind. We neglect treating our neighbors as we would treat ourselves. Being a sinner separates us from having a relationship with a holy and just God. We desperately need a solution.
Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
God loves us unconditionally even though we have done nothing to earn His love. God shows mercy, love, and grace toward us as sinners. We are unable to save ourselves from the penalty we deserve to pay, but Jesus can.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
By not keeping God's law and standards faithfully, we are found guilty and condemned. We deserve the punishment and wages for our sin, which is death. Only through God's gracious gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ can we be saved. Living a sinless life, Jesus died on the cross in the sinner's place. He paid the penalty for sin so that each sinner wouldn't have to do the same. "...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved...." Romans 10:9
Romans 8:1
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ..." If you put your faith in Jesus and believe that He died on the cross for you and rose from the dead on the third day, you are "in Christ."
You will not be condemned for your sin and will not go to hell. Your sin has been washed away. Through faith in Jesus Christ, God's power can change you. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is anew creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
Discover the hope that never fades by placing your trust in Jesus Christ. Read the Gospel of John. Find a church that prioritizes teaching from the Bible. And reach out to share the good news with others.
It is my hope and prayer that I am able to share the gospel utilizing the gifts God has given me through photography.
