Reading or thinking about John 3:16, that He gave has always stood out to me. But what invoked this selfless action? What was so important and meant so much to our heavenly father that He gave?
Love. For God so loved that He gave. God loves us. How much did He give? And what do we gain by receiving this wonderful gift?
When we believe Romans 10:9 we are saved from guaranteed failure to keep the old covenant and come under the new covenant with God that says that Jesus Christ paid the final payment, he was the final sacrifice for sin and we are freed from sin and death and given eternal life.
God bless you and all you do in and for Christ. Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
