Who God is
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ~ Genesis 1:1

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ~ 1 John 1:5
What is wrong

But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. ~ Isaiah 59:2
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. ~ Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 6:23
What God did
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~ John 1:14
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Where that leaves you
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. ~ Mark 1:15
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ~ Romans 10:9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. ~ Ephesians 2:8-9
And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. ~ Revelation 22:17
