For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. — John 3:16
To really understand this verse, you must understand this one thing — we are perishing. You have to believe that and understand the despair of this one word. That's what John wants us to understand. But what does perishing mean? It implies brokenness, guilt, condemnation, sin, and death. This is a spiritual state of perishing. One of the many ways we see evidence of this is physical death. We die. Death is the sentence for sin if we turn back to the first pages of the bible. Thus physical death is one evidence of spiritual death.
But there is hope in this too.
God loved us.
He loved us in our despair, brokenness, condemnation, sin, guilt, and shame. He loved us so much that he gave us a gift. A gift that is available to all. The gift is Jesus. And this gift came at a great cost for God. And for humanity, the gift is relatively simple to receive. We just have to believe. And it is by believing in Jesus we can have freedom from everything that kills us daily. Guilt, sin, condemnation, brokenness, shame, and the like. And you can have that right now. And with it comes eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If you are ready to believe, write this below:
I believe in Jesus and am ready to receive freedom from my sin and shame.
ASK THIS: Are you ready to believe?
DO THIS: Write this: I believe in Jesus and am ready to receive freedom from my sin and shame.
PRAY THIS: God, I believe Jesus is my Savior. From this day forward, he is the Lord of my life.
PLAY THIS: My Savior, My God.
