The Never - Ending Story

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


John 3:16 has been nicknamed "the Little Gospel." That's because it condenses the message Jesus came to share into a single clear-cut sentence, answering one of the big questions every individual has to face: is there life after death? God's answer to that question is a resounding yes. That truly is "good news," which is what gospel literally means.

When you love someone, that love motivates you to give. The same is true with God. God loved the people of the world so deeply that he had to put that love into action. He did that by sending the very best gift he could ever give, a true part of himself - Jesus.

Before any gift can be enjoyed, it has to be accepted. People accept God's gift by accepting who Jesus is. That's what belief is all about. But God doesn't stop there. Accepting Jesus comes with an extra bonus gift. That gift is a life that never ends. That gift isn't something people have to wait and open later. Its reality isn't something people have to wait and open later. It's reality takes hold the moment people accept God's "good news" as a part of their lives. From that moment on, they experience a life that will not end with death but will continue beyond it as they grow ever closer to the One who loves them so deeply - and gave so much because of that love.

Consider a few of the countless ways God has shared his love with you. This generosity will extend from his life into the next. Take a few moments just to say thanks.
