God is interested in you. He knows everything about you. From the number of hairs you have on your head (Matthew 10:301), to the very thoughts in your heart (Jeremiah 17:102), our Creator is interested in you as an individual.
The greatest evidence of God’s interest in you was the sending of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to pay the entire debt of sin. He did this out of love for you (John 3:163; Romans 5:84). That each of us has sinned is a fact established by simply examining ourselves by 10 commands given by the LORD in the book of Exodus, chapter 205. These ten commands were summarised into two commands by Jesus in the book of Matthew, chapter 22, verses 36-40.6 He said that each of us is responsible to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. He said, secondly, we are to love our neighbours (anyone with whom we come into contact and have the opportunity to influence in some way) as much as we love our own selves. The honest person will admit that he/she has broken both of those commands at some point in his/her life. By breaking God’s commands, we become guilty of the law of God as offenders and transgressors. That brings us back to the fact that God sent His Son to die for everyone’s sins (offenses, transgressions) simply because He loves each of us. God is interested in you as an individual!
God is not looking for us to please Him in order to earn His forgiveness for our sins against Him. He has already offered forgiveness to anyone who will receive it. He can offer this forgiveness because the perfect, sinless sacrifice was made by His Son on the cross at the mount called Calvary. Everything good that God has for you is received in and through Jesus Christ. Forgiveness for your sins, eternal life, access to God’s throne in prayer, leadership in life and for decisions, righteousness, etc. can only be received by going to God through Jesus Christ. God has established that the only path to Him is His Son (John 14:67). It is an incredible thought that God’s interest in you was deep enough for Him to allow His sinless Son to die on your behalf for your sins! (2 Cor. 5:218). And, not only did Jesus die for your sins, but He showed His power over sin, death, and hell, as well as, showing God’s approval and acceptance of His payment, by rising from the grave. By accepting these facts and good news (called the Gospel), you can be, what the Bible calls, saved (Rom. 10:9-10, 139).
Being saved, by its very name, tells us that God has enough interest in you as an individual to deliver you from something. From what would God desire to deliver you, to such an extent, that He would sacrifice His own sinless Son? The answer is simple and sobering; the answer is DEATH. The Bible teaches us that there are two deaths; 1) Physical death and 2) the Second death. Everyone, both saved and unsaved, will experience physical death. That is evident by the fact that Christians still die. But, the Bible says very simply, “the wages of sin is death.” Throughout the New Testament, Christians experienced death.
The Bible tells us that the Second Death is the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:1410). It is the final result of God’s wrath being poured out upon those who embrace sin rather than the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:1811; John 3:3612). The Second Death is an eternal death. That is NOT good news! But, not everyone will experience what the Bible calls the Second Death. Only those who do not believe on God’s Son as their only hope of salvation will die the Second Death. God is interested in you!

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
