Read John 3:16, yes, read it
slowly and thoughtfully. Jesus is
talking with Nicodemus who finds
it hard to comprehend the full
extent of God’s love. It must have
been startling to Nicodemus, with
all his narrow particularism of *
Pharisee, that this love was des
tined to the whole world of men
outside of borders of Judaism.
The design of this great love is
twofold. First, deliverance to se
cure from impending condmena
tion and perdition. Second, It was
also an aim of the highest bene
fieience, to make men partakers
of Eternal life. There are condi
tions upon which this gift may be
enjoyed. A moral and Spiritual
gift cannot be bestowed, as a
material gift, independant of the
character of the receiver. The
greatest gift of God is conferred,
not upon the deserving or upon,
the fortunate, but upon the be
lieving. He who rejects Christ
cannot benefit by Christ. It is
this faith that links the soul to
the Savior.
If the Law had been left to its
course, its transgressors would be
punished. They were already in
the hands of Justice. God was
under no obligation to enterfere.
God was under no necessity to
enterfere. Man’s ruin is entirely
of himself. His salvation is en
tirely of God. God so loved man,
all men, that Our Heavenly Fath
er was willing to let His Only
Son pay the price of suffering
for our redemption. That Love
awaits your acceptance. Wouldn’t
you Believe and accept the great
est offer given to men?
