Grab a tissue...

Just let this speak for itself...(I do not promote the Bible version used to quote John 3:16.)You will need to scroll down to my music box and pause it before viewing this.

What if that were my son? Right now he's sleeping in his bed. Right now somewhere, a baby's being aborted, theives are breaking in and destroying someone's home and life, a husband or wife has committed adultery, teens are rebelling against their parental authority, a child's being abused....the list goes on....but would I give my son for those people? God did. What about the girl who made good grades, followed (for the most part) her parents rules, didn't get into (too much) trouble? That was me. But I was lost. I was relying on a work based faith thinking I was "a pretty good" person. God sacrificed his son for me too. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. I struggled for years with my pride thinking I wasn't "that bad" of a person but God says..."As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10. In March 2001, God gave me the realization that there was NOTHING in me that could be good enough to obtain salvation. No good works or traditions of man could get me into heaven. AND I realized heaven is REAL, hell is REAL, sin is REAL and because of that sin I was doomed for a place in hell. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 Praise God for his tremendous sacrifice for mankind. God loves me that much!!!! And he loves you that much!!! God's salvation gift is free! "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." That whosoever is ME and YOU! :)
I know when asked my greatest fear a lot of times my response is to lose one of my children or my husband but God willingly went through the pain and agony and sacrificed His ONLY son. Jesus did bridge the gap that sin has placed between God and man.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
