God So Loved
By John Evans
John 3:16 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 is the most famous verse in the bible and for good reason, it says it all. For God so loved the world… In this instant John is telling us that God loves everyone. From Adam to the child that is being born right now as you read this. God loves you more than anyone person can fathom. It's bigger than the universe and cannot be swayed.
That he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus)… People really don't understand what Jesus went through to be the Lamb of God. Most everyone has seen the movie Passions of Christ this is probably the closest as anyone has come to depicting the day Jesus was sacrificed for our sins. No one sees the pain that Jesus went through, because the actor could not mimic it in the movie. After all he was just acting! Now I'm not saying James Caviezel did a bad job he really was good and convincing. The people in America don't go through this type of torcher so we can't sympathize with what Jesus went through we can only read about it and give him Glory for it. John 18:28- John 19:37. Can you imagine being whipped with a cat of nine tales?
That whosoever believeth in Him should not parish… This is to say to have faith in Jesus and you will not spend eternity in Hell. Hell was created by God for Satin and his demons to be cast into and burn for eternity it was not made for man but there will be men and women cast into it's fire pits at there judgments. We all have been told as children that when we die we go to heaven, it is true but we weren't told of the road that leads us there it's really a narrow one… (Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it). Now that we are all grown up its time to here the truth we all don't go to heaven when we die we must have faith in Jesus to get there as well as have a personal relationship with him. You mean I can have personal relationship with Jesus? You ask! YES… (John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice). The way you achieve this is to walk in faith, love and obedience to your one true God Jesus Christ. Pray without ceasing, read the bible daily and tell others that Jesus is their savoir. Jesus wants you to have the guarantee that you have a place in heaven to spend eternity with Jesus and not burning is hell. John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
Time is very short our lives just a blink of the eye in the grand timeline God has set forth the alpha and the omega… (Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty). Imagine all eternity, (and you are in it) from the time God created the heavens and the earth until 100,000 years into the future. That's along time by even our standards so imagine what it is to God. If you can I know I cant. Jesus existed even before he created the heavens and the earth He just has ALWAYS BEEN. So you need to make a choice of where eternity is for you, is it with the Prince of Peace Jesus, or with the prince of darkness satin?
Jesus went through a lot to get us to heaven now we must pick up our cross and follow him. (Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.) We must crucify our flesh we must die so Jesus may live through us. That means we must repent of our wicked ways and love one another as Christ loves us… (John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.) That's exactly what he did He laid down His life so we may live, so we can walk the streets of gold and never to cry again.
