God wants to be near you. Since the fall of mankind distance has come as a result of our sin. The wonderful news in the Gospel is that Jesus has drawn near to the sinner. God so loved you that He sent His only beloved Son, Jesus Christ as the Saviour for sinners. At Calvary’s cross the Lord Jesus the just one suffered and died for the sinner that we might receive salvation.
