Life is a journey in which God reaches out to us to draw us to himself, offers us forgiveness and regeneration, and an unimaginable inheritance.  However, we must be willing to accept and admit that we have fallen short of His glory by our rebellion against him and our rejection of his authority over our lives.  We must believe and accept his gift of forgiveness and redemption through the sacrifice of his son Jesus on the cross.  We must confess and submit to the Lordship of Jesus in our lives.
