John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)
Jesus is the Son of God who came as a baby born of a virgin (Christmas) and died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins and on the third day rose again (Easter). God loves YOU! Jesus died for YOU! You are forgiven if you believe in Jesus and will live forever in eternity.
John 10:10, The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV)
The thief is the devil and Jesus said we will have trials and difficult times. But Jesus came so that we might not just barely survive, but thrive. Even though the battle might be fierce at times, you do not battle alone. Jesus is ALWAYS with you! Yes, you.
John 8:32 & 36, Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (NIV)
In order to know the truth, we have to know Jesus and believe what the Bible says. Once we know who Jesus really is, who He is to us, and who we are in Him, then freedom results. Freedom can never be taken away as long as we walk in it and believe it.
