The #John316 Benefits Package #mercy #grace #motivation

BEST OFFER EVER! God owns grace and He's giving it to you, yes, you, right now, if you'll receive it! And the FAITH that you need to believe in God is built into the John 3:16 promise itself! GOD'S WORD WORKS Ever since Genesis 1, when God SPOKE and it was DONE, God's self-fulfilling word still DOES/WORKS/CREATES as it was commanded. God's word has always been a complete package! YOUR PART: BELIEVE Just LET THE WORD work IN YOU to accomplish God's will! How? OBEY the word! The Word of God is working--not you! You can’t see it working but it will fulfill God’s command…if you’ll let it work IN you and FOR you! Believe! And your obedience is the ACTION/EVIDENCE that you truly believe. EVEN AT THE DOORS But the offer won't last forever. Jesus is coming soon and is wrapping things up. All you have is now. And you don't know what today may bring. So why not believe now? WHAT HAPPENED? (BACKSTORY) Adam and Eve BIT THE FRUIT. Our first parents. They knew what was at stake. God said don’t. But they did anyway. They disobeyed God and brought DEATH upon all humanity. The wages of sin is death. Humanity sinned against God’s law. Disobeyed God's commandment. And they lawfully earned the death penalty. Case closed? No! BUT GOD, who is rich in MERCY and GRACE, immediately implemented the JOHN 3:16 PACKAGE DEAL. THE JOHN 3:16 PACKAGE DEAL FOR GOD: The same "in the beginning" God who created the heavens, earth, and all humanity SO LOVED: God’s pattern is he DOES/FULFILLS His words. In Genesis, He SPOKE and it is DONE. At Calvary, God LOVED. THE WORLD: Every human being from the first two humans, Adam and Eve, to today THAT HE GAVE: God is the source of good. If it’s ever to exist in our world, He has to be the One to give it. HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON: Jesus Christ: “for he shall save his people from their sins” THAT WHOSOEVER: Every human, without discrimination, from Adam and Eve to today BELIEVETH IN HIM: Believes that God is true. Believes that He is not lying. IN HIM: You are “in” whoever is in you. Jesus says: “Abide in me, and I in you”. SHOULD NOT PERISH: “Let not sin reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it…” BUT HAVE: This gift is yours if you’ll have it. Guaranteed by the one who cannot lie. EVERLASTING LIFE: To “know” God is to have God. Man is again one with God—as before sin. (John 17:3) WHY CHRISTIANITY? Because this “God”, the LORD God, gave EVIDENCE of His Father’s heart. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! No other “god” stepped up to the plate—because there is no other “god”! He is the Creator of mankind and of heaven and earth. The LORD God didn’t just talk the talk, He FULFILLED His word. And by the power of His word in you, He will make you more than a conqueror. Of yourself, you have no power to BELIEVE GOD, or to stop sinning but God has all power! And, right now, He’s offering this power, the Holy Spirit, to work in you “to will and to do of His good pleasure”. He’s offering you strength to OBEY His Word. Let it! Let the word of God dwell in you richly! NEXT STEPS Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV READ your Bible, PRAY everyday, and you’ll grow, grow, grow!
