God made a perfect world for us, then made us, and gave us free will, which we promptly used to defy Him and His laws of nature under which we were to flourish.

After generations of restrictions, God chose to redeem His imperfect creation with a sacrificial offer of divine and eternal forgiveness without restrictions to those who would willingly return to Him with a confession of belief and faith in the object of His supreme act of personal sacrifice, a humanly relatable demonstration of the depth of His abiding love for us.

Accepting His gift, we are restored to His original plan, promise, and purpose for an infinite future back in His realm.

That’s the gospel in a nutshell, foretold from the beginning, revealed for today.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. —John 3:16
