GOD GAVE HIS SON TO US

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

John 3:14-17 KJV

One of the definitions for the word “so” in Webster’s Dictionary is “without any doubt”.  There is no doubt that God loves us and that He loves us unconditionally.  God gave His Son to us to die on the cross for our sins and to not only be our Saviour but also to be the dearest Friend we will ever have.

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that God not only loves you, He so loves you?  There is no doubt that God loves you.  He proved to you how much He loves you when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for your sins.  What a precious and loving Heavenly Father we have!

God gave His best to us because He loves us so much.  How much do we love Him?  Are we giving Him our best?  If we want to make our Heavenly Father happy, we will be kind and loving to Jesus.  If you are a parent, you know how happy it makes you when people are kind and loving to your children.

Every person has to answer this question.  How much do I love God?  We can say we love God.  However, God can see into our heart and He knows if we love Him or if we are just giving Him lip service.  We have a tender loving and compassionate Heavenly Father Who not only loves us, He so loves us.
