John 3:16

John 3:16 is probably the most well known Bible verse. It’s seen at sporting events, on bumper stickers, on t-shirts, and on signs. But what does it mean?  God loved  you so much that he made a way for you to escape the coming judgment. “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). How will you do? Have you ever told a lie? Stolen anything? Hated someone? Jesus calls hatred murder (Matthew 5:22)! Ever used God’s name carelessly? That is blasphemy and is a very serious offense (Exodus 20:7). Innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? God does not want you to go to Hell (1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9). He loves you so much that, two thousand years ago, God sent His only son Jesus Christ to earth. Jesus being fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the Law and then willingly became the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. He died on a cross to pay for your sin (1 John 2:2). Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin, death and the devil. The payment for your sin has been made. But you must receive it. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” (Acts 16:31)  If you repent and believe the Gospel, then God will forgive all your sin and give you eternal life (Mark 1:15, John 3:36) www.AfterLifeCatalog.com                 80-BEZEUGEN                                  (802-393-8436)
