GOD'S LOVE
(JOHN 3:16)
Love of God to mankind is demonstrated through the giving of His one and the only son, Jesus Christ. The text shows to us:
1. The Extent of God's Love:
"For God so love..." God's love for you can't be quantified. It is great love.
2. The Universality of God's Love:
"..Love the world." God's love transcends racism, ethnicity, class, and sex (male or female). God loves you for who you are. He wants you to come to Him the way you are.
3. The Object of God's Love:
"..That he gave is one and only Son." Jesus is the climax of all the gifts of God. No gift can be compared to Him. Accept Him into your life and you will enjoy abundant life (Jn. 10:10).
4. The Subject of God's Love.
"..That whoever believes in him." You are important in God's heart. You are the subject of His love. He gave Jesus because of you.
5. The Effect of God's Love: "..Should not perish but have eternal life." A life with Jesus is a peaceful life even in the midst of storms of life. Use this period of CHRISTMAS to accept, appreciate and appropriate God's love into your life.
