Scripture/Prayer

It was out of love and not cruelty that God sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for the sin of the world, and once a sinner believes this simple truth and as for forgiveness, he is immediately saved and is NOT condemned. But how many believers continue to live the life under a self-imposed condemnation, simply because they do not read God's Word or believe what they read.

Let us read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest God's Word, and then believe what He says.

2024/9/26 Edited to

In John 3:17 KJV, we find a core message of hope: God did not send His Son to condemn the world but to offer salvation. Understanding this verse can profoundly impact a believer's spiritual life. We must acknowledge the mercy of God, which is highlighted in prayers of gratitude. A prayer of thanks guided by the acknowledgment of God’s grace reminds us of our free gift of salvation, encouraging us to share Jesus' love with others. It is essential to embrace these scripture truths and integrate them into daily life. In doing so, believers can experience freedom from self-imposed condemnation and live a life full of faith and assurance in God's promises.
