Inspiration
The Lord loves the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). This amazing love is available to all who choose to receive it, regardless of race, background, or lifestyle. By putting their faith in Him, they can have the assurance of salvation and the joy of living in close relationship with Him forever. The extent of God's sacrificial love should not be underestimated. Due to humanity's sin, the entire world was subjected to divine judgment. Despite this, God loves sinners with a fierce passion, but cannot tolerate sin. As a result, He, who knows the end from the beginning, pre-determined in eternity past to redeem humanity by providing a substitute for sin - a perfect man who would bear the consequences of sin and receive the punishment that we deserve. The path to eternal life and freedom from sin's grip is available to anyone who places their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. No one is excluded from God's offer of salvation, and all are invited to receive it as a free gift. The only requirement is belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. Embrace this belief, and you will be saved.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that I may always understand the depth of Your love for me, demonstrated so perfectly in the sacrifice of Your only begotten Son, Jesus. You loved the world so much that You gave Him to die for our sins, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. I am grateful for this incredible gift, and I choose to believe in You, Lord. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
