John 3:13-17

January 17th, 2012

When we lift up Jesus Christ, and not ourselves and our beliefs, allowing the Holy Spirit to move then people can see His goodness and His mercy and believe in Him, that they might see and understand and be saved. 

In order to refuse a gift you must be aware that a gift is being offered, and everyone will have the opportunity to accept...when the Spirit knocks let Him in! This gift fixes everything!

The most precious gift of the Triune Godhead, the Holy Lamb of God heaven and earth are filled with His glory.....may the Spirit open our eyes to behold Him!

New birth is by the Son, by the Cross, and by faith. When Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, those who looked at it lived. So it is with the Son of Man. When a person trusts Christ, he or she is born again and receives eternal and spiritual life, God’s kind of life.

God’s love is not restricted to any one nation or to any spiritual elite. World here may also include all of creation. At His first coming, Jesus came so that the world through Him might be saved. When Jesus comes again, He will come in judgment upon those who refused His offer of salvation.

John 3:13-17

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
