This is the victory and the good news of Christ. None of us sought him first. He asks the same question today. To perish is to lose our purpose in life. Sin keeps the individual from knowing the reason for which God created him or her.
Gospel meets a sinner and brings reclamation and a transformation.
These two words describe the process of God in reaching people. He calls and we are to believe. These are the messages that come from the cross. Each of us must decide our own response. God is not willing that we have a loss of well being any longer.
