Calvary Chapel's greatest desire is for people to come to know God personally.  The truth is God created you and loves you very much. (Genesis 1:1)  He gave us life and deserves our gratitude and love.

Each and every one of us have chosen to disobey Him and sin against Him.  We have all done wrong and failed to do what is right. (Romans 3:23)  No matter how little or how much sin we have done, we are all guilty before God. (1 John 1:8)

God is perfect, completely good, always right and fair.  He cannot look upon sin, and He cannot simply overlook the fact that we have chosen to disobey Him.  The Bible says "the wages of sin is death". (Romans 6:23)  This means that the fair payment for our rebellion is death, a punishment we deserve.

Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, came to earth and lived a perfect sinless life.  He was crucified even though He was completely innocent.  He received the punishment that we deserved.  He was the perfect sacrifice, put in our place and took upon Himself the death sentence that should have been ours. (Romans 5:8)

Jesus did not, however, remain dead.  After three days, He rose from the grave and later ascended into Heaven.  One day soon, He will return for all those who trust in Him as their Lord and Savior.  Are you ready for Him?
