What Hope Is There For
Homosexuals?
In Jesus Christ there is every hope in the world. This is terribly important. Homosexual sin is no different from
any other sin and Christianity proclaims forgiveness and healing and hope for the future. They are as available to
homosexuals as they are to anyone else. Please remember that the Bible’s main message to homosexuals is that
God loves you.
