Title: God Loves You /John 3:16
Content You must know this secret.
Occasionally, if you go to an intensive care unit in a hospital, you will see people who are life-threatening breathing on ventilators. This is common air, but you pay a price that is too expensive for that person to drink. We cannot live without drinking for a moment, but we usually live without knowing the gratitude of air. The foolish people today see many fools who sacrifice their precious lives for wealth, power, honor, and knowledge that will decay, burn, and perish on this earth, yet are too indifferent to the spiritual food that will give them eternal rest. “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces” (Matthew 7:6).
If you meet a soul hungry for love when you go out to the field, please give me these words today. Life is an animal that feeds on love. When love is exhausted in the home, problem children and vagrant children arise. When love runs out at school, mistrust begins to sprout between the priests. When love is exhausted at work, confrontations and conflicts arise between labor and management. When love is exhausted in the church, the devil works. The human heart cannot be filled with anything on earth. If you plant the seed of God's love, Jesus, in the field of your heart, amazing works will happen in your life. God loves you. God is still calling you. God has a wonderful plan for you. Now let me tell you how that love of God was revealed.
First: God loves you in the world.
God loves the world. Because you created the world. A person who does not know how this world was created cannot find God. Moses said in Genesis, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). When God created this world, he created it beautifully. That's why He said, "It was good" (Genesis 1:4,10,12,18,21,25,31). To see means to be interested in the object. God did not leave His creations alone, but looked at them with interest. This is proof that you love the object. Therefore, everything in this world is in the midst of God (Romans 11:36).
God loves you. God, who loves the world, especially loves humans among the creatures in the world. Because man was created in the image of God Himself (Genesis 1:26-28). Therefore, human beings cannot live apart from God. People who have left God are the most unfortunate (Genesis 3:8-10). If you turn your back on God, who is the light, naturally there will be pitch-black darkness in your path. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).
God is calling you. The prodigal son, who left his father's arms, became a pig who died of hunger in a famine. This is the tragedy of life that leaves God's arms. I hope that you too will now clear the chaos, emptiness, and darkness of your life and come to the light.
Second: God gave you his only begotten Son.
God has given you the best gift. God loves to give. He filled the heavens, the earth, and the seas in his creative work. It was filled with perfection and fullness without any gaps. God generously gave His only begotten Son as a gift (Philippians 2:6). Then what kind of son is that only-begotten Son?
Jesus was born of a virgin body. “You will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus, who is God, came to this earth in a human body to save mankind. Therefore, Jesus can save sinners because he has no sin.
It refers to Jesus who died on the cross and was resurrected. Why did Jesus die without sin? He died as a substitute for sinners. “For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Because he died without sin, he was able to rise again. “He was buried, and then rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4). He has become the first fruits of our resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20).
It refers to Jesus who ascends to heaven and returns. He said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11). God does not want humans to perish. If we live according to the world and die, we cannot escape eternal punishment because of our sins. However, if you believe in the only begotten Son, you will be saved and have eternal life. If you are born once, you die twice; if you are born twice, you die once and live forever (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17). We must be born again in Jesus and be free from the power of sin and death. Paul said, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Third: God wants you to have eternal life.
It is a claim to prayer. As children of God by accepting the Lord, we have the right to claim anything from God. “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7), “the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack” (Psalm 23:1). I did. The relationship between parent and child is a relationship of unlimited responsibility. Children have the right to claim anything from their parents, and parents are responsible for raising them.
It is the right to serve. When we are young, we ask our parents for something, but when we grow up, we serve them. It is the same in the spiritual world. When we are spiritually young, we ask God for it, but when we mature, we say, “I will live like this” and become a minister. Working with the ruler of a country is a joy, a thrill, and an honor before the hard work and reward. Those who have the gratitude of grace who are children of God do not know how pleasant it is to serve for the kingdom of God. That's why the psalmist said, "Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; it is better to be a gatekeeper to your God than to dwell in the tents of the wicked" (Psalm 84:10). When we work for the gospel, God sends angels to help us moment by moment. (2 Kings 6:17, Daniel 3:25, 6:22)
It is the right of command to Satan. “Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18). You were told to go out and preach the gospel. Before the Lord gives you a mission, He gives you the ability to carry out the mission so that you can do the work. Therefore, only command in the name of Jesus. All the powers of the devil that hinder the gospel will go away (Mark 16:17-18).
Dear saints!
A gift is precious only to those who know its value. For a young child, a hundred-dollar toy is better than a million-dollar check. You cannot understand the love of God until you know who the only-begotten Son is. That's why Paul said, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18).
God sent His only begotten Son to teach eternal life to those who are running towards destruction. It was sent by God the Creator, which no one can reject. Let's not put it off until tomorrow "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what will happen in one day" (Proverbs 27:1), "...behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. This is it” (2 Corinthians 6:2). There is nothing more important, more urgent, and more precious than accepting Jesus as the Christ.
God loves you. So God gave His only begotten Son for you. Let's testify to the whole world of this great and wonderful blessing to rescue souls from dying under the power of darkness. I pray in the name of the Lord that God's great grace will overflow to Milal's families who receive God's love and carry the Gospel. Hallelujah!
