“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
(John 3:16).
John 3:16 has been called “the Gospel in a nutshell.” This one verse sums up the whole purpose of Jesus and His ministry--God sacrificed His Son so that the penalty for sin could be paid.
God so loved--This is why God reaches out to rebellious humanity.
God loves us no matter what condition we may be in; no matter what we have done. His love is unconditional. And God proved that love by allowing His Son to die as a sin sacrifice. “But God commendeth (or proved) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom.
5:8). Don’t ever get the idea that God hates you because that just isn’t true. He hates the sins you do, but He loves you.
In fact, He literally loved you to death on the cross!
You can’t earn this love.
You can’t buy it. You can’t win it. God’s love is free of charge.
Experience this grand, unconditional love of God. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your life. He will respond! He died to respond to such a prayer.
Call on Jesus today. Let God’s love fill your being.
No one will ever love you like God loves you. No one!
