Jesus Christ

Christ's coming was not to create guilt, but to demonstrate, and better yet, be a vehicle of God's love to us. The cross is a dramatic expression of His love and a clear invitation for people to come to Him and be saved. This love of God in Christ is the only basis for anyone's relationship and friendship with God. This seems to be the theme of that Curious Book called the Bible.
Let's check it out.
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him."

John 3:16,17 (New Living Translation)

Here are a few of the many truths of how we can experience a growing relationship with God:
"And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts."
Colossians 3:15a (NLT)
"Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives."
Colossains 5:16a (NLT)

John 3:16 - God

John 3:16

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."



This Scripture verse focuses on the Father - His loving, His giving, His saving. It is He who expressed His love to us in a most profound way. He loved us so much that He didn't send His most superior angel, but rather His only Son - Jesus Christ. We can add nothing to what He has done. We are only to obey Him by believing what He did for us in sending Jesus and receiving His Son. This results in something as great as His love - transferring us from the state of perishing to having eternal life. This transformation is done by the Holy Spirit Whom He sent. The whole Trinity is involved! We are invited to join the sovereign Lord in deep fellowship that overflows with joy no matter what the circumstances might be.

I enjoy "this and that's" from God's Word. Often I jot down inspiring thoughts, questions, or ideas as I read or meditate and I'd like to share these concepts once or twice a week.
