To fully comprehend our need for the Savior and what Jesus has done for us, we must first come to grips with our sins. The world offers us an array of solutions for a better life here on earth, but many of us will realize (some quicker than others) that our souls will never be satisfied by these temporary remedies. God offers us the ultimate solution in His Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Without believing and trusting in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, ultimately, we will never experience complete fulfillment in this life. Yet, knowing there is life beyond this one, we must realize that without trusting in Jesus’ finished work of the cross and paying our debt in full, we will never have peace with God; we will be responsible for paying the debt for our rebellion against Him. This quote from D.A. Carson encapsulates the beauty of the gospel and our great need for Christ: “If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist. If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician. If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor. But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death; and he sent us a Savior.”  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [10 Great Ways to Show Support for Military Families](  Jeremy Stalnecker Here are ten ways, among many, to show your support to military families  [CONTINUE READING →](       [The Problem with Shopping at Target](  Amanda Idleman While I understand it can be tough to navigate the many ways that brands we love support causes that do not align with our values, I think Target is one of the bigger offenders because of the bold way they have highlighted their worldview.  [CONTINUE READING →](            [Mesmerizing Dance Performance Goes Viral](  GodTube.com A spectacular dance routine from high school students has gone viral, racking up millions of views.  [WATCH NOW →](        [20 Secular Movies with Christian Themes](  G.
