for God so ❤️ the 🌎

It's simple, really. But we tend to complicate it.

...that He gave His one and only Son God Loves Us Forever By Max Lucado, from 3:16: The Numbers of Hope     "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 It's simple, really. But we tend to complicate it. We replace "whoever believes in Him" with "whoever is good enough, smart enough, compassionate enough . . . is worthy of God's love." We take ourselves out of the equation. "My past is too questionable. No re-dos. No do-overs." John 3:16 assures us otherwise. It brings us hope for our future and hope for today. We can be born again in this life and be born again into eternity with the God who loves us. What can be better than that? What's more, our rebirth is not up to us. If it were, there's no guarantee we would do it right the second time. It is made possible only by the power of God and through the saving grace of Jesus. When He is in charge of the do-over, the do-over is always done right.   As you take this deep dive into one of the richest verses in Scripture, may you remain open to this God whose love is so big it covers the whole world—whose love is so big it covers you.

Because God so loved the world.   In 3:16, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado encourages us to study closely the "Hope Diamond of the Bible": John 3:16.   Max says of his favorite verse, "Every time I recall these words, they are fresh and as stunning as my first encounter with them. The mind-bending awareness of God's limitless love, his incalculable sacrifice, and the priceless teaching at the core. How can we not review it again and again? I want this generation, and all who come after, to look closely at the key promise of God and choose the gift beyond all gifts."   Throughout this updated and expanded edition of 3:16, Max will invite you to: Stand in awe of how deep, wide, long, and high God's love is for you Understand more fully the living hope you have through Jesus' death and resurrection Rest in the assurance that salvation is a gift from God, not something you can earn Let John 3:16 become the banner of your life, so much so that the message of God's unending and unbending love overflows from you to others.   Each copy of 3:16 also includes a 40-day devotional designed to help you draw closer to your loving Savior.
