Eternal life
Daily devotional
Scripture:
John 3:16 (NIV - New International Version):
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
reflection:
God gave His Son for all human beings, regardless of what they did in the past, their age, or where they were born. The text is very clear when it says that God so loved the world, and when it says that it is for whoever believes in Him, they will not perish but will have eternal life.
The love of God is for you, the one reading this text. God gave His Son for you. If you believe in Him, you will not perish but will have eternal life.
Application:
today, take a moment of your time to think about that and how amazing it is that god gave his only son for you not to perish but for you to have eternal life.
share this with someone that needs to hear that. say to them that if they believe in Jesus, they shall not perish but have eternal life.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your love, Your mercy. I need that every single day of my life. What incredible love You have for me and for the world, that You gave Your Son, and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Thank You so much, God, for Your love.
I'm sorry, God, for the opportunity that I had and didn't share this with someone. I want to ask for Your help to share this news with more people. I don't want them to perish; I want them to have eternal life.
God, don't let me forget Your love, Your mercy for me. Let me remember that every single day of my life. You are the reason for my life, my joy, my rest. You are everything to me.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
