God Loves You! / David Jeremiah

 

God Loves You! 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   The Gideons International is best known for their Gideons Bibles. Since 1908, Gideons have placed Bibles in hotel and motel rooms for guests to read. On the inside cover, printed in a multitude of languages, is the text of John 3:16. When travelers from around the world open a Gideons Bible in their hotel room, they will find the verse, in a familiar language, that says God loves them.

John 3:16 is perhaps the best-known and most-loved verse of Scripture—the most concise rendering of the Gospel message in one verse. Entire sermons can be preached on the truths contained in this one verse. But for individual readers here is the message: God loves you. If you are in “the world,” God loves you. And He proved His love by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for your sins and promise you eternal life (1 John 4:9-10).  Are you in the world today? If so, God loves you. Respond to His love by believing in His Son. Since God had a Son of his own, and such a Son—how wonderful God’s love in adopting us!  Thomas Watson
