@a.d4874

if you haven’t heard an good news in a while here you go!⬇️






In the very beginning of time God created all & it was good, His plan was to have Him & His creation(humans) live in utopia. the satan deceived God’s creation so that wouldn’t happen, we choose evil. Evil has its consequences, death is the consequence for disobeying an everlasting God. God doesn’t want that for any of His creation so He sent His Son Jesus(God in the flesh) & Jesus lived the perfect life. Died the death as a criminal, & resurrected, all so that we could have eternal life if we have faith in that sacrifice.

Have an amazing life!😁
