For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
In this holy week, we are confronted once again with the passion of Christ on the cross. Such immeasurable love is hard to comprehend. This act, of ultimate sacrifice defies conventional logic.
For God, so loved the world.
God loves … the world. All of it, His creation. Not just the good, or the hardworking, or the clean … God – loves – the world. This love is then manifested in action:
gave his one and only Son.
Do you believe Jesus is Christ? Do you accept Christ Jesus is the son of the most high God? This bible passage is clear on the pedigree of Christ.
whoever believes in him
God loves us, and desires to save us all, but He gives us the free choice to accept this salvation.
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Faith and salvation for eternal life. Eternal communion with God. To know that there is life beyond this life – that there is hope beyond this existence.
God so loved the world. That alone is more than many of us have done.
