Is God good? That’s a big question. And when we ask this question, it’s almost always meant to be personal: Does God want to be good to me? Even though it may sometimes seem otherwise, I believe the answer to both those questions is yes.
The Bible repeatedly shows God inviting people to reconcile with him and enjoy his goodness. The ultimate expression of God’s goodness toward us was displayed in the good news of Jesus Christ. By dying for our sins on the cross, Jesus bridged the gap between us and God, allowing a holy God to draw close to us and offer us forgiveness and eternal life. God wouldn’t have bothered to build that bridge if he hadn’t wanted to be close to us. And the great cost of that bridge–the suffering and death of his own Son–reveals the depth of God’s love towards us.
That’s what this blog is all about (and that’s why all the featured images on this blog have bridges). I want to highlight how God is on your side today, especially demonstrated in the good news of Jesus Christ. So when you see photos of bridges on this blog, I hope you think of Jesus. I also hope that something I write encourages you to trust Jesus, or reminds you to trust him more.
