Love

For God so LOVED the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life

This passage of scripture is so well know that everyone who prob reads this know where it comes from. But I think that its so familiar that sometime we gloss over what that verse says. This verse says that God LOVES the world. That means you. God, the creator of the universe LOVES you. God Loves You. If you think about that for a while it can really blow your mind. And this love comes about not with anything that you do. Actually if you were hoping to get this love by YOUR "good" deeds....... you would fail miserably. \

 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God Eph 2:8


Gift: Property, money or asset that one person transfers to another while receiving nothing in return.

This is what God offers to us. A free gift of salvation. Sometimes we take salvation for granted, but God was under no obligation to to do anything for mankind. He could have just started over. But he sent his Son to die on our behalf so that we can spend eternity with him

And I'm so glad he did
