Devotion:
Read John 3:17.
The gospel books of the Bible tell the good news of Jesus coming on our behalf.. The scripture for today certainly does. Jesus wasn’t sent to condemn us. He came to rescue us. That means we each have value to God. To God, it doesn’t matter the sin we have committed, our upbringing, or social status. God loves us and sent His son to be our Savior. We should not allow ourselves to believe the concept that we are insignificant. God sees each of us as important and our lives have a purpose. So many believers are living under condemnation. They see God as an angry God with a big stick, watching our every movement waiting in anticipation for us to do something wrong, so that He can punish us.
If only believers would take this verse literally and believe what it says, so many would not be living their lives under condemnation but would be rejoicing in the Lord; for God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but to save the world through Christ. It was out of love and not cruelty that God sent His Son into the world to die for the sin of the world. Once sinners believe this simple truth, their outlook on life is immediately changed.
Personal Worship Option:
In the midst of all of the challenges of life, keep your focus on Jesus. Let His value and opinion of you be the one that counts. .Jesus came to rescue you. So today choose to see the value He sees in you and in others. Know that you are vital to God’s plan on the earth.
