What does that mean for me?

What kind of love did God demonstrate to us when he sent his one and only Son, Jesus, into our world to take away our sins? You have the opportunity to find out right now! When you read these verses reflect upon what they are saying to you. The Bible is living and active, by reading the Bible we can presently hear from God.

The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that every one of us has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Even if you try, even if you’re sincere, you’ll still miss the target. The wages of sin is death, but there is good news!

In Romans 5:8 it says that God showed his love for us in this: That while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! The Bible shows us this in John 3:16, read this verse.

Ephesians 2:9-9 says that we are saved by grace, through faith, not from ourselves, but this is a gift from God. If we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead, we receive new life! What does that mean for you?

We see this promise in Romans 10:9-10. We have new life in Jesus and we are now able to follow him and live for him forever.

You see in 1 John 4:10 that this is the kind of love we are talking about – not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved US and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.

We are called to share the good news with others!
