I have been absent for sometime, I apologize for that! Be glad and rejoice, I am back! I am changing some of this blog to also incorporate Jesus and His teachings. As I believe that is my purpose for doing this blog. I hope you enjoy it.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
The message of the Good News comes to focus in this verse. Gods love is not static or self centered; it reaches out and draws others in. Here God sets the pattern of true love, the basis for all love relationships- when you love someone dearly, you are willing to give freely to the point of self-sacrafice. Jesus accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life that He had bought for us. Some people are repulsed by the idea of eternal life because their lives are miserable. But eternal life is not an extension of a persons miserable, mortal life; eternal life is Gods life embodied in Christ given to all believers now as a guarantee that they will live forever. In eternal life there is no death, sickness, enemy, evil or sin. How awesome will this be, to live with our brothers and sisters in Christ, with no sin? Have you packed an extra Bible in your storage stuff?
