—Did Jesus really come to earth?
The existence of Jesus Christ is widely accepted among scholars of antiquity. The evidence for his existence includes writings by historians, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts. There is also an abundance of evidence in the lives of people who have experience transformation as a result of their faith in Jesus, proving that Jesus existed and resurrected.
Christianity has circled the globe and continues to have a powerful and relevant influence in the world today.
The Bible says Jesus came to this earth to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10).
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

—Does God/Jesus have a plan just for me?
Yes, he does! He wants us to be happy, full of joy and to prosper. He wants us to have hope and a future we can depend on. Jesus plans to end all sin, pain, and suffering on this earth and recreate it into a new heaven and a new earth.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Revelation 21:1 “Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.”
