ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

John 3:14-17
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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. For GOD sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

NO GREATER LOVE THAN THIS

Today we celebrate love, it is Valentine Day. We cannot celebrate love without first celebrating the author of Love, GOD Almighty, the LORD of great love. Without Him, there would be no love at all, for GOD is Love and without Him there is no love.

Love has three words in the Greek: eros, which is sensual love; phileo, which is brotherly love; and agape, which is Divine, unconditional love. In the eye of GOD there is only one kind of love which embraces all things, the unconditional love of the Divine and Holy One, which He expresses in giving.

Does GOD only love the World? or does GOD love YOU? both are true, it is not either one, it is both. GOD loves the world and every person in it, individually. GOD sent His Son into the World to be the propitiation for the sin of the world; GOD sent His Son into the world to make the way for all who believed in Him to have eternal life through Him. JESUS is the atonement.
GOD LOVE SAVES.

If GOD loves us so much to save us from death and the grave, ought not we to love in the same way? I John 3:11 says that the message from the beginning is that we love GOD and one another. You see, Love is of GOD and GOD is love. In Him there is not hate, hurt or harm; damage or destruction. JESUS laid down His life for His friends, for the world, for US. We must love in the same manner, to lay down our life for others, GIVING IS PART OF LOVING.

GODS SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE
