1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

Have you ever tried to pin down where love came into your own life? The answer to everyone’s love can be traced back to the originator of love – God!

We have learned how to corrupt love, how to abuse it, how to take it for granted and even how to fear it… all because we have left God out of the equation!

The more we focus on keeping God in our lives, the more we are able to focus on love in our lives and the greater chance we have of succeeding with love.

Leave behind the worldly definition of relationships and focus on the love God had before we knew Him; bring that to the front of your life!

Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’

When someone asks you about Jesus, how do you try to describe Him?

Do you say He was a prophet who taught us the ways of God? Do you say He was a messenger from God? Or do you admit He is the Son of God?

We need to admit Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, God incarnate who came to live amongst mankind as a human being!

Jesus wants the truth to be told by us – not some watered down story, but the real gospel story!

John 3:15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.

Jesus statement to Nicodemus may have seemed a bit cryptic at first because Nicodemus was caught up in the Jewish laws rather than God’s Word.

But this statement is plain and straight-forward. We can all have eternal life if we believe in Jesus.

Moses lifted up an effigy of a snake and told people to look up at it to be saved from the snakes; people had to believe in the power of God, not in a statue of a snake!

Believe in God with your whole heart and be saved!

Romans 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

How many times have you had to face someone else for something you have done wrong? Maybe your parents when you were younger, or the local council when you parked in the wrong place…

As we go through life we do find people who are willing to forgive us and move on without repercussion; and we are glad when this happens!

Now imagine how glad you should be because Christ has forgiven you for everything you have done wrong in your life! Everything!
