Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-plugin-bluehost domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

If only you knew how much God loves you\u2026how much He has worked and fought on your behalf. Like a military general that has been fighting a 6,000 year-long war, planning the most intricate rescue mission to redeem his people from sin and death…from Satan. Did you know? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew the countless lives that have been sacrificed to get His desperate plea to you: to come back to him<\/a>. To leave darkness and step into the light. Yes, it\u2019s scary. Everything we\u2019ve ever known has actually been the greatest deception, Satan\u2019s masterpiece. But God is even greater \u2013 always ahead of Satan, always working in the background, quietly, naturally, and building his case. And now He is presenting it, to you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If only you knew how precious you are to God. That He would make sure to use language and life experiences that we would understand all throughout the Bible and in our daily lives, so that He could get our attention and explain Himself to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew that you haven\u2019t known Him all along\u2026What breaks God\u2019s heart? What has His will and objective been for the last 6,000 years? Why did He have to leave His precious creation and hide Himself from us? Why did Jesus have to give his life for our sins? And why hasn\u2019t sin stopped even after Jesus died?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew\u2026God\u2019s heart to rescue you. Can you hear his soft and gentle sigh? \u201cIf only they knew\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, because God is love, because God is gracious, because God will never abandon His people even if they\u2019ve left Him and cursed Him and don\u2019t know Him at all, He still gives us a chance. He has put His heart, His will, His pain and His plan into His Word \u2013 the Bible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"God's<\/figure>

If only you knew His Word, then you would know that He sent his son to atone for our sins. That His beloved son laid down his life to purchase us from death, to pay back the debt that was owed for sin. And that His son promised to come back to bring us into salvation.<\/a> If only you knew how his son has promised to return, the plan that has been laid out and how to recognize it.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew that God has promised to send a person that Jesus would work through and would remind us of Jesus\u2019 teachings and lead us into full truth. No longer will we have the partial, confused explanations or re-directs that come when we have questions about the meaning of Jesus\u2019 teachings or Revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew that this person, whom Jesus will be working through, will work to create God\u2019s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven <\/em>so that God and all of heaven can return to their rightful dwelling place. Did you know? That God has been planning to come back to earth this whole time? Did you know you had been praying for it every time you said the Lord\u2019s Prayer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew that God has promised and has been working to finally be able to reconnect with you, His precious, lost creation. He\u2019s asking you to come back to Him. To learn about who He truly is and be with Him forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only you knew\u2026but now you do know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you going to do?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
