On the cross, His love for us was proven and the Bible verse that goes along with it is John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever will believe in Him would have eternal life”. So, I will cut it down a bit and go through each part.
God so loved the world: Why would He do this? Why would God give His Son for the world’s sins? Because He loves all of us. We, each of us, were created and formed by God. He gave each of us a personality that no one else has. He gave each of us our talents and our gifts and there is only one of each person on this planet, even if you are a twin. Each of you may look like your brother or sister, but you have talents, personalities and abilities that are different from each other. God made you and me that way.
He gave His Son as a Perfect Lamb to pay for ALL of our sins. Only Jesus could live a sinless life and die to pay for mankind’s sins. Then He rose from that grave to give us eternal life, if we believe in Him. Like the thief on the cross, it only takes your belief in Jesus to bring salvation into your life. There is nothing that you can do to “help” God save you. His grace and mercy are gifts that we get when we believe in Jesus for our salvation. Your spiritual gift is one that you will have to find on your own, but God always gives each of us at least one.
God loves you and He has prepared a place for you in His Kingdom, if you will accept Jesus as your Savior, follow Him and live your life trying to be more like Him. Eternity is a long, long time, so make sure of your eternal destination while there is time. Our world is not going to drown from rising seas or be suffocated by pollution. Read the Bible, especially Romans and the book of Revelation. Your life more abundantly is waiting in Heaven, not here on Earth. Seek Him, find Him and learn from His Word. He loves you more deeply than you can imagine.
Why does God want us to be broken and humble? Because it is at that point we will be receptive to the calling touch of His Holy Spirit. At any other time we could ignore it or say “I’ll do that later.” The problem with that thinking is we might not have a “later”.
Life has a way of proving that we need God whether we want to believe in Him or not. I stuck my neck out for many years before I finally gave my heart to Jesus and actually asked Him to come in and make me a new creation. I found out I was going to be a Daddy and I knew that my life needed to change and that’s when I found out about the change that would happen if I gave my life to Jesus. From that point on I started reading my Bible and learning more about Him. Why? Because He showed me that I couldn’t be a Daddy until I learned how from Him.
