The Greatest News in the World

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

The greatest love

Ps 139:13,17 You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb…How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can't even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!

The greatest problem

Rom 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Rom 5:8 God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The greatest gift

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 4:9-10 God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love…that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

The greatest offer

John 11:25-26 (Jesus said) "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

The greatest promise

1 John 5:11-13 God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

John 1:11 To all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.
