What should I believe about God, the after life, forgiveness, healing, joy, miracles, relationships, stress and the origin and purpose of this world?

Everybody needs Jesus.

All have sinned. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. (Romans 3:23,12)

 Jesus loves everybody.

… “to proclaim good news to the poor … to proclaim freedom for the prisoners … to set the oppressed free.” (Luke 4:18)

“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” (Acts 16:30,31)

Jesus changes your life.

He was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household. (Acts 16:34)

Everybody can believe in Jesus.
