The FOUR: God Loves You

Ready 

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

Set 

God made you and loves you! His love is boundless and unconditional.

God is real, and He wants you to personally experience His love and discover His purpose of your life through a relationship with Him.

As an athlete or coach, we may have feelings of love and adoration when we step on a court, field, or arena. We may love our teammates, our coaches, or even famous athletes who we aspire to be like. But when we find someone we really love, that relationship can make us feel whole; a feeling that has purpose, happiness, and fulfillment.

God’s love for us is all of that and more. God loved you so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus so that you can have eternal life with Him. God made you especially in His image, knows you deeply, and loves you unconditionally. He wants you to experience His peace and His presence through a daily personal relationship with Him.  Rest in the assurance that you are known, you are loved, and you have purpose through Jesus Christ!
