Ecclesiastes 2:26 (NIV)To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.
1wGod made us to know Him, but sin broke that perfect relationship. We all miss God’s mark (Romans 3:23) Yet He loves us so much that He gave His only Son – Jesus died, rose again – for our sins so we can be made right and live forever (John 3:16) Salvation is not by what we do, but by God’s grace through faith. When we turn from sin and trust in Christ, we begin new life now—and forever. @ @
