Because
he is so loving, God has done something to rescue us from the
punishment we deserve.
Many
years ago, God sent his own Son, Jesus, into the world. Jesus
didn't say 'No' to God. He always
did what God wanted him to. And so he didn't deserve to be punished
like the rest of us.
But
Jesus was punished. He was killed on a cross. God loved us so
much that he punished his own Son Jesus instead of us.
This
means that we can be forgiven for saying 'No' to
God. We can be welcomed into God's wonderful kingdom as his
friends. |
