Summary
Why did God create us? Why did he bring us into existence? God doesn’t need anything and yet he freely chose to bring us into existence. Dr. Edward Sri ponders these questions and offers his responses to them to start off a five part series on the Kerygma. In this series, Dr. Sri aims to return to the basics in order to help us renew our encounter with Christ through the foundational Gospel message.
Snippet from the Show
We do not earn God’s love. God brought us into existence and delights in us. He brought us into existence because he wanted to share his life and love with us.
