"For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 (NKJV)
Love is a word of action. It proves itself by what it does and it requires sacrifice. Through Christ's pure and holy love on an impure and unholy world, He GAVE His only Son. By the gift of His Son, God gives us Himself. Do you realize the magnitude of this gift?! If you have the gift of His Son, you have all you need. All the love we desire can be found at the cross, nothing can compare!
The only thing you can do when someone gives you a gift is take it or reject it. I don't know about you, but I've never turned down a birthday gift that someone is generously offering! Through the selfless sacrifice of Jesus we can now share in the eternal gift of salvation. Once our lives were leading to destruction and death and now we have abundant life. Through this scripture we can see that:
He loved us while He is greater than us.
He loved us while we are still sinners.
His love is not selfish.
His love is open for everyone.
His LOVE saves.
His love is the greatest love.
When you have been freely given the most wonderful and precious gift motivated by the most perfect Love, why wouldn't you accept it?
Love,
Ashley
