Believing in Him

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)

 

This is perhaps the most quoted verse in the entire Bible, and rightly so. It is the best news ever proclaimed, and the simplest and most direct answer to life’s most important question. It is the revelation of God’s love manifest in His Son, Jesus, whose life on the earth, death on the cross, and resurrection from the dead is the central reality of all time and eternity. Everything that has ever been done or said will be measured by the words spoken in this verse. There is no truth beyond it, no one or thing outside its reach, no man or woman above it, and no thought that isn’t subject to it. God’s love manifest in Jesus Christ is all anyone ever needs to know about walking in joy and wisdom, and it is the key to every door one must step through to be at peace with the Living God. What an honor to come to God, and to come on His terms. Our present and eternal state depend on it!

 

Let's Pray - Father God, thank You for the gift of everlasting life through Jesus, my Savior. It is the solid rock on which I stand. All glory to You, Lord. Amen.
