“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:16-17 HCSB
Good morning fellow disciples.
Last week we looked at Redirecting Our Focus to The God Of Wonders. We said that, “No one in existence has performed wonders the way that God Almighty has. He is indeed The God who does something surprising or that is hard to believe.”
Today, we redirect our focus to the Only God who gives eternal life.
Our God loves us so much that He will do what is unthinkable to save us. Remember that God created us in His own image to have dominion over this earth, but we sinned against Him and lost our position with Him. God stated soon after that He would remove man from the garden of Eden so that he would not take of the tree of eternal life and live forever. Because of Adam’s sin man was condemned to die.
We see here that to God provided a plan, a way of escape, so that man could live forever. Man would not live forever in his fallen state, in his state of broken relationship with God. Why did God provide this plan?
“For God loved the world in this way“. It is because of God’s love for us why He came up with this plan to save all mankind. God loves us and wants us all to live forever with Him! What an awesome God He is!
“For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.”
John 3:17 HCSB
God’s plan of salvation was announced by His Son, proclaimed by His Son, and fulfilled by His Son. Do you believe in His Son?
It is God Almighty who gives eternal life! Do you want eternal life? If the answer is yes, accept God’s plan of salvation and live your life in total surrender to the God who gives eternal life!
Prayer: Father God, there is no one like You! Thank You for Your plan of salvation that will give me eternal life!
I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and I accept Your gift of eternal life. I will live my life fully submitted and surrendered to You. I turn away from the world and will forever live in fellowship with You. Amen.
