“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.”

John 3:16 NIV

John 3:16 is the quintessential gem of all gems in terms of meaning and reality, and our inherent passage of certainty upon leaving this world, after following and believing, and accepting Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior.

God gave us a gift in His Son, the unblemished Lamb, so that we could be saved. We will be ensured of “Life Eternal” and not perish, that is to say…we won’t be destroyed, but live forever, thanks only to the LORD for the sacrifice of His Son.

The Gospel and Doctrine of Christ is in large a great responsibility to those of faith, presenting thoughts, and His words, to a lost and dying world.  Christianity is a reality, not an idea. We should be keenly aware of choices, and obedience to the LORD.

An invitation from the LORD to understand the grace of God in sending Jesus Christ, along with our obedience, love, and baptism in Christ is required to be saved from an eternal death.

The LORD warns us in Matthew 10:28— “And be not afraid of them that kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” 

But the joy of knowing Christ, and to be the recipient of such love and grace is beyond explanation, it’s a feeling of excitement and peace that bubbles deeply within our souls, along with a steadfast security in realizing we will live forever through Him, and Him alone.

His love and the invitation to accept Him in our heart and surrender to His will for our lives, is one of the greatest gifts we could ever have received. It is from the Father of lights. This isn’t through anything or anyone, other than our Father. He alone saves!

Do you know Him? If you don’t, please take the time to get to know the Greatest of all time, the One and only Great I Am, and the One and only who loves you more than anyone ever has or ever could.

Open your heart and accept His invitation.  It’ll be the most rewarding experience of your lifetime, Amen!

 

“Father, thank You for the Greatest gifts of my lifetime, Your Son, Your love, and the passage of Eternal Life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
