Read John 3:16.
We have joy because God loved us and gave us the gift of His son. The Good News comes into focus in this verse. God’s love is not static or self-centered. It reaches out and draws others in. It is not shrouded in rules, codes, or rituals. The joy comes in the understanding that everyone who believes can have eternal life. Here God sets the pattern of true love. The basis for all love relationships. When you love someone deeply you are willing to give freely to the point of self-sacrifice. God paid dearly with the life of his Son, the highest price he could pay. When we share the Good News with others our love must be like Jesus’ - willing to give up our comfort and security so that others might join us in receiving God’s love.
Personal Worship Option:
