Monday musings 5/4/26

This verse has gained a lot of traffic in the past few years. It bears closer study than pop stars and athletes like to give it. The truly amazing section is this:

“that he gave his only begotten Son,”

The Lord GAVE, which denotes there must be an intended recipient of that gift.

“BEGOTTEN,” is replaced with “one and only Son,” in the NIV.  Webster’s defines begotten as: procreated; generated.  This is of huge  significance to all Bible believers. Satan wants to diminish the extraordinary aspect of the Conception of Christ, which was 100% supernatural. Through devious means, the evil one seeks to destroy the deity of Christ in every way he can.

Hold fast to the doctrine of the only begotten Son of God.

God’s Plan of Salvation – Fact #1 – God Loves You

IT IS AN ETERNAL FACT THAT GOD LOVES YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE THAT CANNOT BE FATHOMED.  IT IS A LOVE SO BOUNDLESS, THAT IT CAN ONLY BE KNOWN THROUGH FAITH. 

Jesus saving

John 3:16

 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.

Just think about the simple word “so,” in the above verse.  So simple, yet so expressive.  That deep and simple word gives us some concept of the magnitude of God’s love.  God so loved you, that He gave His only begotten Son, to be made sin for you, that you might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21

 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

JESUS CHRIST WAS MADE THAT WHICH GOD HATES – SIN 

SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE MADE THAT WHICH GOD LOVES – RIGHTEOUSNESS

It is because God so loves you, that you can exchange your sins for His righteousness.  Is there any greater evidence of love?

CALVARY IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES YOU – AND IT IS HIS GREATEST LONGING TO SAVE YOU.

Admit this fact to yourself

GOD LOVES ME
