JOHN 3:16

For God so loved the world, that He gave His ^[a]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

This is one of the greatest verses in God's Word. In this piece of juicy scripture, God is showing us how Jesus died for us. Just think about that for a second.... JESUS DIED FOR US!!!!! The wage of sin is death, but the gift of Christ is eternal life. (Romans 3:23) Doesn't that sound great? ETERNAL LIFE???? Jesus is so awesome. He has given me a new life when I was made a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We try to be righteous, but our efforts to be righteous are like filthy rags to God. (Isaiah 64:6) It is so important to realize that there is nothing we can do to appeal to God like good clean people. Jesus is always there for us.
