God’s Love By Billy Graham “In this the love of God was made manifest … that God sent his only Son into the world.” —1 John 4:9, RSV From Genesis to Revelation, from earth’s greatest tragedy to earth’s greatest triumph, the dramatic story of humanity’s lowest depths and God’s highest heights can be couched in twenty-five beautiful words: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Many people misunderstand God’s attribute of love. “God is love” does not mean that everything is sweet, beautiful, and happy, and that God’s love could not possibly allow punishment for sin. God’s holiness demands that all sin be punished, but God’s love provided a plan of redemption and salvation for a lost and sinful world. By that plan Jesus Christ came from Heaven to give His life as the final and perfect sacrifice for sin. But we must respond. We must believe. We must commit our lives to Jesus Christ and trust Him as our Savior and Lord. Have you put your faith in Him? If so, everlasting life is yours! Hope for Today God loves you so much that He sent His Son to save you. If you were the only person on earth, God would have still sent His Son to die so that you could be made right with Him. Will you respond to His call to eternal salvation by faith in Him? | ||
