Verse #4, Keeping the Commitment

Well, we are on to Verse #4.  I still haven't gotten Verse #3 down.  Didn't work at it as hard.  Isn't that usually the case.  Start off strong and then.....  Well, you get the picture.  So this week I am going to get Verse 3 and 4 down.  Verse 4 is  John 3:16-17 "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.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."  He gave his ONE AND ONLY SON...the only child he had.  Not like he could console himself with the love from another child.  Jesus was his ONLY ONE.  I wouldn't have done it.  I would have said "Sorry gang, but you folks are going to hell.  I'm not giving you my ONLY child."  We don't have to give up a child for salvation.  We only have to believe that God did.  I, for one, am so thankful that I don't have to give up MY child for YOUR salvation.  You should be glad too...because I wouldn't.  So, with that gratitude fresh in my mind, I am more than willing to BELIEVE.  Hope you will too.
