For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. John
3:16 (NKJV)
We all learned this verse as children in Sunday school. We
could recite it from memory with ease.
For God so loved the world, God
has His reasons for all He does. That reason is that He loves what he creates-our
world and all who inhabit it. Sometimes, He has to allow difficult things to
entre our lives. He does this to teach us something.
s
He gave His only begotten Son, God gave. He willingly gave His only Son. He
sent His son to earth, divesting Him from the glories and splendor of heaven.
Our Father again gave His Son to give us, His children life eternally.
that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, All who come to
trust in the Son will not go through a spiritual death.
but have
everlasting life. The men and women
who choose to trust Jesus will be able to be in heaven with Jesus whenever
their time on earth comes to its end.
All this happens because God loves us that much. He sent
His Son to earth, making Him identify with mankind so that we might learn about
the Father. God loves us so much that He allowed Jesus to suffer a criminal’s
death for us, to take away our sins.
The more I try to understand this love, the more I realize I cannot grasp it! It is divine.
ReplyDeleteMarja: AMEN! We cannot fully understand how great His love is. We will only see the extent of His love when we go to be with Him. Peace and blessings to you and yours.

ReplyDeletePam: I scaled the wording down and used this for Children's Moments last Sunday. I had the sound techician put this image on the screens and read it at the end of our time. I tried to emphasize the words down the middle. Som of the adults loved it as well. Peace and blessings.
