When God 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.” (John 3:16 KJV)
Yes, our Heavenly Father unconditionally gave His only Son! As Apostle Paul affirmed with these words: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8 NIV). He further stressed: “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 NLT)
We just have to believe, and receive His Lordship in our lives, and be born again, as the Lord declared to Nicodemus. We need salvation from imminent destruction. The way the world is heading is enough warning for us. We need Him, here in this fleeting life right now. And, the more so, beyond unto eternity. In Christ Jesus by faith, we are saved by grace. Definitely none of those religious rituals and efforts for indulgence. Not by good works, those are filthy rags in God's eyes (Isaiah 66:4). Yes, truly, we are saved by grace through faith! (Ephesians 2:8). The Lord Jesus Christ is our only Savior! Apostle Peter reminds those unbelieving religious Jews. “This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”” (Acts 4:11-12 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
