God Gave His Best

God Gave His Best

John 3:16-18

 

  1. He gave without partiality (For God so love the world vs. 16).
  • His gift was offered to all.
  1. He gave His best (He gave His only begotten Son vs. 16).
  • He gave the best He had to offer!
  • In Jesus, God gave mankind a way out of sin.
  • In Jesus, God gave everyone a path back to Him.
  • In Jesus, God demonstrated His love for people.
  • God doesn’t want any to perish. 2 Pet. 3:9
  • He gave one of a kind.
  • It was unique.
  • It could not be replaced.
  • It was part of Himself.
  1. What God gave was for all.

That whosoever vs. 16

  • This describes the recipient of God’s love.

Believeth in vs. 16

  • It means to trust in, to rely on, to cling to. 2:8,9; Titus 3:5

Him vs. 16

  • Salvation is not found believing in the preacher, the church, a good Christian, but in Christ. Acts 4:12

Should not perish vs. 16

  • This describes the intention of God’s love.
  • God’s love actually saves man from eternal destruction. 3:23; 2 Pet. 3:9

But have everlasting life. vs 16

  • This describes the duration of God’s love. The love we receive among people may fade or turn, but God’s love will never change.  He will never stop loving His people.
  1. What God gave was appropriate.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world

through him might be saved. vs. 17

  • Jesus revealed the heart of God the father in sending God the Son to bring salvation rescue, hope, healing to the world through Him.
  1. God gives to those who will accept Jesus.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned

already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. vs. 18

  • God loves everyone!
  • He wants everyone to accept His Son.

 

Will you take what He offers?
