In John 3:16 it says, “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.” The thought of that is so overwhelming at times. Just knowing that God loved us so much that He not only wrapped Himself in flesh to come down to earth for us…He also gave up the life of His only Son to prove it.

Just for me…

What Jesus did on that cross said that He loved us more than He loved His own life. He sacrificed His life so that we could have eternal life with Him. Nobody else would have done that. 

Just for me….

The really awesome thing is that because we believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ saved us, and we have confessed it with our mouths…all of our sins have been erased. We have been forgiven. In the eyes of God, it is like we have never sinned. We get a complete do-over. 

Just for me….

Once we understand that even if I (we have to make it personal) were the only person on the face of the earth, God still would have sent Jesus Christ to save me…it changes us. God’s love for us is transformational. You can’t believe that and still feel the same. To believe that and still live the same. To believe that and still be the same. Amen.

To know that the Father loved us so much that even before we were born, He already had a plan in place to save us. Amazing!

Until next time…

Be blessed
