PART 4: ONE DAY, GOD WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.
The best news is that this is not as good as it gets. A day is coming when Christ
will return. He’s coming back to re-create our world: a place with no tears, no
pain, no suffering, no brokenness, no helplessness—just love. God will make all
things new. In the meantime, God invites you to step into his storyline, to join
him in his work of restoring all things. Rescued restorers live with purpose and on
mission: not a life devoid of hardship, but one filled with enduring hope.
RESPONDING TO GOD’S STORYLINE
If the storyline of Scripture feels like a lightbulb turning on in your soul, that,
my friend, is the one true, living God, who eternally exists as Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. God is inviting you into a relationship with him to have your sins
forgiven and secure a place in his presence forever. When you locate your story
within God’s story of redemption, you begin a lifelong relationship with God that
brings meaning, hope, and restoration to your life.
Take a moment now to begin a relationship with Christ:
God, I believe the story of the Bible, that Jesus is Lord and you raised
him from the dead to forgive my sins and make our relationship possible. Your storyline is now my story. I want to learn how to love you and
share your love with others. Amen.
If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ROMANS 10:9,
