Good News Weekly Message

So often the impression is given that our relationship with God is mainly about all the ways in which we need to change and that salvation is dependent upon self-improvement. Thankfully, God has provided a substitute for self-improvement. Rather than change, he offers an exchange: our sin, guilt, and death for his holiness, innocence, and life. Today the exchange God made reaches its culmination as we remember Jesus’ death on the cross. Salvation by self-improvement would lead to endless frustration and futile exhaustion. However, the salvation won by Jesus is a one-and-done accomplished fact.
