John 3:16 God's Love For Us

This is one of the first Bible verses which I learned and memorized as a child.  It taught me that God loves the world, His world.  He loves me.  He loves each and every one of us and wants us to know and love Him.  He made a way to bring us to Him.  His plan of salvation is seen throughout the 66 books of the Bible.  He sent His only Son down from Heaven to be The Way back to Him.  The Prophets foretold the Messiah’s coming even though they did not fully understand what God was telling them to say.  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the One True God seen in the plural since the account of creation which is written in Genesis.   Jesus, The Son, came to earth to show us the character of God and to be a living Spirit Filled example for us.  He shows us how we are to live.  He was perfect.  We, as believers, can never be perfect. The Holy Spirit enables us and is constantly perfecting us by giving us as believers the fruits of the Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit has convicted my heart and I believe in God’s promise to me in John 3:16.  Because I believe in Christ, my promised redeemer, I know without a doubt that I will not perish, but have eternal life.  I will be in eternity with God, and family, and loved ones some day.   


John 3:16 is The New Testament message, the Gospel, and the Good News, stated in a one sentence Bible verse.  I will not stop reading it, repeating it, meditating on it, and sharing it. God loves me and  He loves you!
