Competing for the win in a big match parallels our own lives. We win some and lose some.

We face challenges, experience pain, enjoy wins and everything in between.

Like a good coach helping you navigate the match, there is one person who can give us hope and guide us during any type of circumstance - that is Jesus.

God is in control of the universe, and He knows the circumstances of your life right now

Also, He loves you more than anyone ever could. Even though God loves you, we make many mistakes in life and this is called sin. Sin is anything that goes against what God wants — actions, thoughts, or anything else.

In the Bible, God tells us, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God is perfect and holy, which means He and sin cannot coexist. The Bible says, "The payment for sin is death."

God doesn’t want to be separated from you. His love for us is so great that He provided a way for you to be in a relationship with Him. He sent His son, Jesus, as a sacrifice for us, proving how much He loved us.

The Bible says, "God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, and whoever believes in Him won’t perish, but will live forever.”

But why was Jesus able to pay that price for us? Jesus lived a sinless life and then willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. In the Bible, God says this is how He "demonstrates His own love for us.” Even though we are sinners, Jesus Christ died for us.

That is not the end of the story! Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. We don’t have to be perfect or work to earn this love. It is freely given to us by God!

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."

God reaches out in love to you and wants to help you walk through the struggles of life and find peace and joy. The Bible tells us “To all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins, save you and lead you.
