GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
“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.”
John 3:16
Main Text: MAIN TEXT: MATTHEW 1:21
God’s love for mankind is immeasurable. From the very beginning, His desire was to have a close relationship with man, to see him live in freedom, dominion, and abundance. When sin disrupted this divine fellowship, God did not abandon man to destruction. Instead, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us and restore what was lost.
Jesus was sent into this world by Abba Father to reconcile man back to Himself. God could not stand to see His most precious creation enslaved by the devil, living a beggarly life far beneath His original intention. That is why Jesus came—to redeem us from all weak and beggarly elements. Gal 4:9 “But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?”
Hell was never meant for man; it was created for the devil and his fallen angels. God’s plan has always been for man to dwell with Him in eternity, not to perish in that place of torment. Yet, many are still slipping into hell every day because they have not received the truth of the gospel.
This is why we must preach. The gospel is the hope of this world—the only message that brings salvation and reconciliation with God. We cannot remain silent while those around us are lost. We must rise and proclaim the love of God to our family, friends, and the nations. Jesus came so that no one would perish (John 3:16). Will you share this good news today?
Confession:
I declare that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, a light to the world, and a hope for the nations. Therefore, I preach the gospel and win souls all my days, in Jesus' name. Amen.
