1
In the beginning life was complete, man was in contact with God.
In Your presence is fullness of joy, at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more. Ps.16:11
2
But now it is different. Life is incomplete, man is out of contact with God.
Your iniquities have separated between You and God.Isa 59:2
3
Sometimes we try to regain this lost contact with God. We try to build many kinds of bridges.

Oh that I knew where to find God. Job 23:3
4
The only answer to our need is in Jesus Christ - the son of God.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
5
We must each personally respond to him, affirm our trust and obedience - or reject him.

At that time separated from Christ You had no hope, no promise, You were without God. Eph.2:12
6
Will You personally trust Christ as Your saviour and Lord?
Here is a prayer by which You could affirm Your faith - just now:
" Oh God, I admit I have sinned against You. I am willing to turn from my sin. Here and now I accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord, affirm my trust in him, and desire to follow him." AMEN
