Genesis 9:13

Our relationship with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour is deep and personal. It guides us in all the things we do, and the majesty he has created for us can be seen in every part of our lives. But did you know that your favorite color can actually symbolize your relationship with God? The Bible uses colors to signify different things.
