WELCOME

JOHN 3:16
In John 3:16, Jesus tells us that “God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This means that He loves every person, that He died for every person, and therefore salvation is for every     person in the world. Man cannot have this great salvation until he repents of his sins and believes John 3:16 in its    totality. God so loved the world that he gave—you can give without loving but you can’t love without giving.  God loved us so much, that He gave His only begotten Son for us, as sinners, to be reconciled to God, and to fulfill God’s purpose. The penalty of sin had to be taken care of. God did that when He gave His Son to die on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to satisfy the justice of God. Now every sinner can hear and believe John 3:16 and be saved. We must believe that Jesus is everything He says He is, that His Words are true, that His promises are true, that His commandments are true, and that He does not change. Believe John 3:16 and be saved; reject John 3:16 and be lost.
So, what about you? How will John 3:16 Impact your life?  Will you allow its true message to sink deep into your heart and change your life? Because of God’s great love and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, you can believe in John 3:16 and be made a new creature in Christ Jesus.
“Therefore, if any man, be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  II Corinthians 5:17
Pastor Roy Yelton
