Here God accepts people that some religious leaders wanted to reject. Whoever you are, whatever your life's circumstances may be, it is important for you to know that Jesus Christ died to take away your sins, not your sexuality. Christ accepts you as you are. No one can earn or deserve God's love which already is given to all people. But God demonstrates God's own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Love is the healer of sin, and forgiveness is the act that brings such healing.
Sin causes misery and spiritual death, but God freely gives life. God loves you and waits for you to receive the gift of new life and hope in Jesus Christ. When God enters your life through Jesus Christ, you receive everything God has to offer. God's gift of new life in Christ empowers you to love yourself. You can feel good about yourself because of God's love.
