Because of God’s faithful love, he offered his only Son, Jesus, to come to earth to rescue people of every ethnicity and offer them a freeing life with a future reservation in heaven. Gratefully, God doesn’t point a finger at our mistakes and misdeeds. He doesn’t scold us for our bad. And he never forces faith on anyone.
Instead, God extends help and a choice. Choose to accept his gift of eternal life or choose to pass on it. Jesus came not to make individual lives right again.

His mother, Pamela Elaine, is the daughter of a U.S. Army colonel, and his father, Robert Ramsey Tebow II, is a pastor. While pregnant, his mother suffered a life-threatening infection with a pathogenic amoeba.
