I have given you eternal life because you have believed in Jesus Christ.
John 3:16 (WEB)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 is one of the New Testament's most quoted, most loved Bible verses. Evangelists have used this Scripture over the years to invite many people to come to Christ. The foundation of this much-loved verse is, and always will be, the love of the Father. For God (the Father) so loved the world...
The great love of our Heavenly Father caused Him to give up His most treasured possession, the life of His Son, so that we, too, could share in Jesus' eternal life. What a glorious promise! God loved us so much that He gave up all He loved to gain our love!
May we never take the wonder of John 3:16 for granted, but may we continue to revel in our God and Father's amazing love for us every day. Thank you, Father, for loving us so much that you sent your only begotten Son to the world to purchase our redemption!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for loving me so much that you sent your only begotten Son two thousand years ago to secure my redemption. Help me personalize Jesus’ great sacrifice for the entire world so I can know, at a heart level, that Jesus died for me.
Words fail to express my gratitude for the immeasurable price you were willing to pay for my redemption and the eternal life I have already entered through my forever union with your beloved Son.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
