For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. There are four key things from the passage:
- For God so loved the world
- He gave his only begotten son
- That whosoever believes in him will not perish
- Have everlasting life. Love is such a strong thing that transcend human thinking. 1st Corinthians 13: 4 – 8a says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Humanly speaking all these looks unachievable. Why will you tell me not to be angry when someone upsets me? Why should I be patient when it looks like the other person is taking advantage of my kindness or taking me for a ride and so many other examples can be popping up in mind. Love I say again is a such a strong thing that transcend human thinking. John 17: 14 -15 shows clearly that we are in this world as strangers and not of this world and therefore we cannot do things the way of the world. Dear brothes, the world we are in today has its own standards, just like where we read, we are from a different kingdom on assignment in this world. We are on a mission here. The Bible remains our guide as we navigate this world. We cannot do things like the people of this world. No wonder all the passages we read gave us task that look humanly impossible but with God all things are possible. We come from a kingdom where power is released for us to achieve the impossible. A kingdom where nothing is impossible. Wont you rather be a citizen of that kingdom. A kingdom where we can boldly sing: I’ve still got joy in chaos I’ve got peace that makes no sense So I won’t be going under I’m not held by my own strength Cause I build my life on Jesus He’s never let me down He’s faithful through every season So why would He fail now? No, He won’t. A kingdom where whether we have food or not, we remain joyful because our Joy isn’t tied to things we can hold on to. Jeremiah 29: 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. If I know this why then do I have to worry? If I know this why then do I have to be afraid? Because he lives, I can face tomorrow, because he lives, all fear is gone, because I know, He holds the future, and life is worth a living, just because he lives. In Conclusion
Our passage said because of his love for us, He sent his only begotten son to die for us. An innocent person becoming guilty that we might be free from the shackles of Satan and that through him we will have everlasting life, if we believe in him. Such kind of love cannot be found in the world of today. As we go through the year, look back at how God has shown you love even when you didn’t deserve it, came through for you, saved you from yourself, now what is he asking of you? What are you going to give to him to show your love for him? He is not asking for too much, he wants you to surrender your life to him. He wants to drive the wheels of your life. I have never seen him fail; he wont start with you. It is a beautiful thing that we are born into the Christian home, but again some of us need to find God and know him for ourselves. Being a Christian and isn’t a guarantee that you will make heaven except you walk in that part. GOD HAS COMPLETED THE WORK OF YOUR SALVATION ON THE CROSS, NOW IT IS LEFT FOR YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND AND BE ON GOD’S SIDE.
prayer: Lord Jesus, I am back, grant me the strength to live for you, help me to take my eyes off the distractions of this world and focus my gaze on you. Help me to grow more and more in you in Jesus’ name. Amen God, we have no power of our own, we put our lives in your hand, lead us on to your praise and glory. Amen.
The Lord bless you all.
