Receive God's Love

God loves the world. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). That includes every nation, all races, and every ethnic group (Revelation 5:9). Receive God's love believing God's Son.

Receive God's love as a sinner. We have all sinned (Romans 3:23). God sent His Son to die for sinners like you and me (Romans 5:8). He died for our sins at the cross (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Look at God's love in Christ crucified. This is the greatest love story the world has ever known. Yes, God the Father's love for sinners is forever proven.

Receive God's love personally. The Holy Spirit makes God's love real to us. Upon confessing Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit does something beyond our ability to completely understand. He pours out the Father's love into our hearts (Romans 5:5). We are changed by love divine. That's God's love for us in Christ.

Receive God's love in Christ forever. As believers in Jesus Christ, nothing can separate us from the infinite love of God. That includes trouble, persecution, suffering, and even death. God loves us now and forever. Everlasting life in Christ is God the Father's everlasting love (Romans 8:37-38).
