that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Most of us have known this little verse forever, perhaps, but do we live it? Within' these simple words are such powerful truths...not only that, they contain the character and nature of God. This is pretty sobering for me, for as I really study it word by word by word, I can't help but realize how UNLIKE God I really am...
I have made it my mission to IMPROVE in the God-Qualities found within' this profound verse... here's 5 things that MUST increase in and through me (maybe you too):
- Amazing Love
... for God so loved the world - Unlimited Generosity
... that He gave His one & only son - Universal Acceptance
... whosoever believes in Him - Total Forgiveness
... shall not perish - Eternal Perspective
... have eternal life.
