God – eternal, loving, majestic – creates mankind in His image. They are free to follow Him. They reject Him and become mortal. Nevertheless, God makes an alliance with Abraham, father of the Jewish people, from whom the Messiah will come.
Jesus fulfills this alliance. One-of-a-kind, born of a virgin, he heals, teaches, reveals the Father. Our rebellion condemned us, but Jesus died to pay the price. Absolute justice, infinite love. Jesus rose from the dead.
God requires exclusive trust in Jesus who took my wrongs, my shame. I am then forgiven, reconciled.
God will reign forever with His people, that’s restoration!
