John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God's immeasurable, inexhaustible, divine love was required
to save a sin ravished world. He gave
His Son, Jesus, to be the Prophet, the Priest and the King for all
mankind.
In order to avoid eternal damnation for our sins, we must
submit to Jesus Christ as our teacher, our ruler and Our Savior. Our duty is to proclaim His name. Our benefit is everlasting life in His Kingdom.
Jesus sacrificed His life for us. He is asking us to sacrifice our old lives in
exchange for a new life under His stewardship.
There is really no sacrifice on our parts. What we receive is eternally greater than
what we leave behind.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing a way for us to
escape eternal damnation because of our sins. We thank You for providing Your
Son as our sacrificial lamb and as our living, ever present Good Shepherd. We humbly submit to You all that we are and
all that we have in the name of Jesus Christ.
May the presence of Your Holy Spirit strengthen us as we walk the
pathway of sanctification that You have set aside for us. We rejoice in knowing that one day we will
stand before You in the image of Your Son.
We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Holy Redeemer.
