We are going to start with our base scripture "John 3 :16 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."It is one of the basic verses that every christian must know. I always divide it in 4 parts so I will understand it better.
Lets start with part a; For God so loved the world:
The first thing we have to understand is that with the 'world' we mean the people on earth like you and me. Everyone on this earth is loved by God. He loved the world, not only the Jews or the Christians but everyone. Even if you don't know Him, He loves you! Even if you are the biggest sinner, He loves you. Even if you are really far from Him, He still loves you. He loves you with His whole heart and His heart is bigger than anyone can imagine. Because of His love He gave His only son to you.
Which brings us to part b; that he gave his one and only son: Imagine standing in the shoes of Abraham in Genesis 22. Having to offer you one and only son. Abraham was able to do it but God stopped him. God knew that Abrahams offer was only able to save himself and God wanted an offer who would save the whole world. That's why He provided a lamb for Abraham and many years later He provided a lamb for the world. Jesus came from heaven, from all his glory to a world that wasn't even worthy of His presence. He became a body of flesh to carry our sins. Because God knew that if He didn't gave his only son we would have died. But now we are free of the death that sins brings because of Him.
That's what the 3th part explains us part c; that whoever believes in him shall not perish:
At first we have to understand that Christ dying for us on the cross was already a prove of Gods love. But it didn't stop there. Christ dying made it possible for our soul not to perish. Our body will die but our soul, our spirit will not die if it is in the right place, if it is saved. But we have a part in it too. You have to believe that God is the one and only God, that Jesus died for you on the cross, that He was risen the 3th day and that by accepting Him as lord an savior you are saved.
Being saved brings us to part d; but have eternal life:
If our soul is saved we will go to heaven and praise God for eternity. That is our eternal life and it is the most amazing life ever. There will be no struggle nor condemnations but only joy and peace. But the only way is Jesus.
'John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.They will come in and go out, and find pasture.""John 14: 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Only through Christ you can come to the Father and to come to Christ you have to accept him as your Lord and Savior.
"John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.God does not want anyone to get lost but He wants us all to be raised the last day and to praise Him. The one and only God wants you to be saved and to live happy because He loves you.
Here is what you have to do so that you can experience God's love in your life. If you are reading this you can invite Him through prayer but maybe you don't know how to pray. So here you have a prayer to invite Christ in your life so that you can experience His love. If you. Do it with faith Jesus will come in your life and God's love will become reality.
Prayer:Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for forgiving my sins and for the eternal life. Take the direction of my life and make me the person you want me to be.
Amen!
If you pray this prayer with faith know that Christ has entered your life,that you have eternal life and that you are called a child of God.
"John 1: 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"
Nothing can seperate us from the love of God.
"Romans 8: 38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a]neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
