God Loves Me

John 3:16 the most famous verse in the Bible, is the "Gospel in a Nutshell". It summarizes the essential truths of salvation--God's love, our need, the danger of perishing, the role of faith, and the gift of eternal life. Its every word spells GOSPEL:

G - God so loved the world that He gave His

O - Only begotten

S - Son, that whoever believes in Him should not

P - Perish, but have

E - Everlasting

L - Life

Try putting your name in the middle of this verse! Read it like this: "For God so loved______(put your name Here,) that He gave His only Son that if I believe on Him I will not perish but have everlasting life." Make it your verse and you'll make Him your Savior.

MB,

This is not a joke. You need to believe!
Thank you my sister Sharnah! hug
I don't believe, jim, I don't, nor will I, but doesn't mean I judge others on their beliefs, each their own cheers
Hi Cmiyer. Thank you. When I read this from my daily devotional this morning, I felt immediately moved by the Holy Spirit to make it a blog!wave
Thank you brother Ed.wave
MB,

Yes, each to their own!wave
Lovely blog thanks angel
Glatlol, no one is forcing you to read Christian blogs! Your choice!
@Jim,
truly the best verse of the Bible...John 3:16. Loved this devotional! Thank you for sharing!hug teddybear
Hi Bayjan,wave

Thank you very much!
Glatlol, I am not forcing anything on anyone. You have a free choice as others do to decide what they want to believe.
And it is my right to say when something is so obviously untrue and dangerous.
@Glat,

No one is forcing you to read these blogs. You keep quoting that line as if Christians are evil. Atheists, Spiritualists and all others post their blogs and you don't attack their beliefs. Just Christians. Amazing!
I have been on this site for almost a year and I know who posts what basically. It just amazes me why you keep reading Christian blogs when you know what the blog is going to be about. sigh
Glat,

Bayjan is right. Don't read this stuff. You are like a broken record. You repeat yourself on any Christian blog! Get a life!
Of course I repeat myself, you and others keep repeating the same tripe how can I not respond.


It is just SO wrong that others with a brain do not also cry out against your lies.


I have a great life thanks, one that I live and enjoy and take responsibility for myself. Not one of delusionment and falsehoods.
@Glat,
just because you don't believe does not make it fiction. As I said before every one is entitled to their beliefs and they are entitled to share their opinions as you are.
I dont believe in the easter bunny or santa either although my 4 year old Grandson does so does that mean them are real?

How do we know they are not real?
@ Gentlejim...this scripture has always been a great source of comfort for me...knowing that my late husband has not perished but is enjoying everlasting life and when it is my turn to go home the people I have loved will be there waiting for me...thanks for the good blog wine handshake
So sad comfort
Thanks Gentlejim, much appreciated and agree :)
Truth is truth whoever chooses to believe it or not the same as a lie is a lie whether we choose to believe it or not.
We are all free to choose what we believe is truth or a lie.
Like I have said before we have many things in common and it is good to dwell on them and look for the good in each other teddybear
Exactly Wallop, a lie is a lie regardless of whether or not people are to daft to see it or not.
Because I feel that free agency is a gift to all men thus it gives us the right to choose what we believe and so to share what we feel then I do not feel the need to condemn another if their believes differ from mine. We as humans are never going to agree in all things. I feel that we can be kind and try and understand why people may think differently. I think respect for others feelings should be important to us all for our believes are very personal to our hearts,
One of the things I have enjoyed about these blogs is being able to share with people who may feel differently but not be unpleasant.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!! I have my little grandchildren with me so I'm having a BLAST!!!!! Albeit I will be EXHAUSTED by the end of .banana

Of course we should stand up for what we believe it is our right to do so.
I believe there is standing up for our rights In an appropriate way. I feel attacking someone's believes is different. I think it wholly appropriate to disagree with someone but then to leave it alone once said.
I guess what I am saying is this is Jum's blog, he has shared something dear to his heart, something he feels sacred and beautiful. It is his blog. People share what they feel about his blog whether they agree or disagree and that is fine. I do feel we should respect that it is his his blog though and keep our comments in respect of that.
We can choose to start a blog if we feel passionately about something and say whatever we like on it.
I think choosing our time and place is important when sharing our feelings.
I feel like I have taken way too much if Jim's blog up now. Sorry Jim
Take care hug bouquet
Shocking absolutely shocking that anyone can believe it is ok to agree with such horrors never mind promote them.
The Bible can be proven;

1 Prophetically

2 Historically

3 Geographically

4 Archeology

There are 456 prophecy scriptures in the Old Testament concerning the Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ
thumbs up I agree with Gatlol, its Osama Bin Ladens fault the price of watermelons has rocked the NYSE. Guess I'll just have to deal with it.handshake
