JOHN 3:16 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.
I am a sports fanatic. During many sporting events, you will see posters cheering on favorite teams. However, there are times when there are signs that simply have the scripture John 3:16 on it. You also can see athletes that have John 3:16 painted on their face.
John 3:16 is one of the best known scriptures in the Bible. Everyone probably memorized that verse during their early Sunday School or Vacation Bible School days. It was not a particularly easy scripture to memorize. However, it was a verse that was to become the basis for our Christian life. GOD LOVES US!
God loved the world, but can you imagine how much he loved US? He loved us so much that He gave his Son that we might have everlasting life. We need to reflect on that scripture during this Lenten season. Simply believing is not sufficient. With belief, comes opportunity and responsibility. As Christians, we are given opportunities and responsibilities daily to really accept God’s unbelievable grace and to share it with others throughout the world.
So … as you see John 3:16 on posters, remember what God gave us, but more importantly, think of your opportunity and responsibility.
