A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” That statement reveals a staggering truth: real change begins when we see God in all his wonder, sovereignty, and grace.
Life is short. Everyone dies. Eternity is long. God offers the free gift of life. Why do people choose not to believe in the gospel? Why do some see the message of Jesus as unattractive?

Many believers are stuck in the past. Past disappointments. Past failures. A past demeaning comment. They have defined themselves by the past.

It is God alone who gives us significance.
