John 3:17
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
God is not a harsh, cruel ruler anxious to pour out His anger on mankind. His heart is filled with tenderness toward man, and He has gone to the utmost cost in order to save men. He could have sent His Son into the world to condemn the world, but He did not do so. On the contrary, He sent Him here to suffer, bleed, and die in order that the world through Him might be saved. The work of the Lord Jesus on the cross was of such tremendous value that all sinners everywhere could be saved if they would receive Him.
Hebrews 3:15 says, today if we hear God’s voice not to harden our hearts as in the rebellion. Man’s nature has always been self serving. We need to take a step back and look at ourselves and think for once how we behave with our creator. The bible says that man was formed out of dust and then God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life. Thus man came to life. The rest of God’s creation was created. There’s a big difference between these two words. God took time to form man into His likeness out of the clay. We should always be grateful and thankful to God just for bringing us into the world He created. God is a loving God. He didn’t send His Son to condemn the world that He lovingly made. But through His Son everyone may be saved. Let’s meditate today on God’s love for us. In Jesus name! Amen.
Maranatha!
