No matter who you are or what you’ve done you are special in God’s eyes. God specifically created you to have a relationship with Him and nothing can change that. 

He loves you like a father loves his children. In fact, the Bible says that we were created in His image revealing that we are a special creation, one that resembles God as a child resembles their parents.

You were never meant to live apart from God. You were destined to be His child from the beginning. God wants to be involved in your life as your Heavenly Father and He wants you in Heaven where He is for eternity! 

Friend, you are valuable to God and He is after your heart. Will you give Him a chance?

Genesis 1:27 - God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Ephesians 1:5 - God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Friend, you’ve missed the point. The purpose of Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave was to clean you Himself. We cannot clean ourselves, Jesus has to do it for us and He does it with pleasure. He wants to heal and restore you back to peak condition but you cannot do it without His involvement.

All He needs from you at this moment is your surrender so He can begin a good work in you. God does not require you to be perfect to start your relationship with Him, He just needs your surrender and the perfection process begins.

Though, God is holy and holds all authority in heaven and on earth, He desires a relationship that reflects a friendship. No matter what you’ve heard about God before, this is who the real God truly is.

John 13:8 - Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”

Romans 5:8 - But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Philippians 1:6 - I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Society programs us to have full control over our lives and have this “got it all figured out” attitude. Reality is that majority of people don’t have it all figured out and the majority of people are miserable with their lives searching for who they are. Many people today are job hopping, changing degrees, the field they work in, moving to new places, etc. trying to figure our who they are through trial and error within their own control. Maybe you can relate.

Anybody can go to school and graduate with a degree if they really tried. Working hard to gain prosperity is a universal law. Even the Bible says it!

In the end, you die and the world you cannot control will reach you. Majority of people are afraid to die because they don’t know what lies ahead and there is this innate and subtle sense of going to a place of eternal torment that is terrifying. 

The reason for this is because when God created you He placed eternity into your heart. You were never supposed to live for little on this earth then just disappear. You were created to live forever with God.

Friend, Jesus tells us that you have to lose your life in order to find it. We, the QRtracts team, are living testimonies of this. We’ve all lost our lives in the sense of life as we perceived it through our own eyes, but we found our life’s true identity through Jesus Christ. Who we thought we were before finding Jesus Christ were just obstacles from our true destiny. Jesus gave you your life and He is the only one who can guide you to who you are.

Matthew 10:39 - If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.

Eccesiastes 3:11 - He has planted eternity in the human heart.

Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Let's approach it this way. How do you know that there is a company named Apple Inc.? You may or may not be reading this on an iPhone or Mac. You know, for sure, that the iPhone came from somewhere. It has to have a source otherwise it cannot exist. 

A sophisticated invention like the iPhone could not have spontaneously appeared from nowhere. Consider how marvelous the iPhone is. It was the first smartphone, it was the first phone to allow people to text on a digital keyboard (which was cutting edge at the time!), it can take high-quality pictures, you can edit your pictures on it, you can browse the internet on it, its physical shape is designed to comfortably fit in your hand, etc. These are only a few things we’ve mentioned. You can be assured that it takes an entire team to design and develop the few things we’ve mentioned.

You could never look at someone and deny the iPhone has a source. It would make you look foolish! Of course, the iPhone has a source! It came from Apple Inc. and we, as the consumers, applaud Apple for developing such an incredible invention. We, as the consumers, may never understand all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into developing such a sophisticated device, but we can see its awesomeness with our own eyes and believe them.

Friend, we used this analogy to help you see the parallels in how mankind is comparable to the iPhone, and God is analogous to the company Apple Inc.

Consider your being. You have eyes, ears, hands, feet, mouth, teeth, feelings, intellect, immune system, blood type, brain, organs, and so much more! How could anybody argue that we are the result of chance, without a maker?

Even the secular coffee company Intelligentsia admits that “Great coffee is not the result of chance”. Chance cannot produce sophisticated and wonderfully designed products. There has to be much thought put into anything that is made.

Your house has an architect and a team of builders. The skyscrapers in the Great American Cities have an architect and a team of builders. Nothing on this earth was created by chance and neither were you!

Hebrews 3:4 - For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.

Romans 1:18-20 - ...people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

There are overwhelming extra-biblical sources that confirm Jesus’ existence and there are 500 eye witnesses that confirm His resurrection. There are secular sources that confirm Jesus’ existence. If you do some research you will quickly find that Jesus was in fact a real man.

Jesus was so influential that we count time after He was on the earth as a man! No other human has ever had such an impact on humanity. It would be easier to question if other ancient people ever existed rather than Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:6 - [Jesus] was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
