Notes
God’s message to us in the Bible is not just information or words on a page - it’s an invitation to life-changing truth. The Bible is a reminder that God is personally responsible for creating each of us - not by accident, but with love and care. You are not random. You are not a mistake. You were designed by a Creator who knows you, loves you, and has a purpose for you. God also wants a personal relationship with you based on love and sent Jesus to earth so that this relationship will never end. We show our love for God by accepting His truth and following His plan and purpose for our lives.
