And this reality extends beyond this life. Heaven is full of forgiven people. Hell is full of forgiven people. Heaven is full of people God loves, whom Jesus died for. Hell is full of forgiven people God loves, whom Jesus died for. The difference is how we choose to live, which story we choose to live in, which version of reality we trust.

So Jesus is seen as primarily dealing with our sins.

We all want to make a difference, to live in peace, to have joy each morning that we get to live this day and see what it brings.
