The ‘SO’ IN THE LOVE OF GOD!
John
3:16 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.
When
Kidnappers takes someone hostage, they ask for an amount that they believe is
equal in value to the worth of the person.
It
was all over the news in Nigeria of a family that recently paid a huge ransom
in US Dollars to kidnappers just to liberate their family member that was taken
hostage. This means the kidnappers were not ready to release him until they
collect an amount that is equal or close to their estimation of the worth of
the man. Fortunately, the man was released and the kidnappers were later
apprehended.
For
God so love
you that He could not afford to abandon you in the hand of the Kidnapper of
destinies (the Devil) that He looked around and search for what could be used
as ransom or the person that is valuable enough for exchange. God needs to find
as a matter of urgency, the thing or the person worthy enough for this great
assignment.
Angel
Gabriel came to mind, but the Kidnapper rejected the offer.
Angel
Michael (The Team lead of Angels) was also considered, but the Devil said No!
The
closeness of the 24 Elders to God makes them VVVVIP in heaven, yet the
kidnapper won’t shift ground, for he knows that you are more valuable.
The
devil remains adamant, and vowed never to release you. God so much love you,
that He won’t ever consider abandoning you.
So,
what offer would be too big for the devil to reject?
Suddenly,
a voice was heard saying, ‘Father, send me. I am willing and ready to die for
the liberation of mankind’. The voice was that of the only begotten Son of God
– Jesus Christ.
Does
the father (God) love you that much that he would allow His only Son to be
crucified in exchange for your freedom?
Which
is more important, the safety of His Son or the salvation of man?
For
God SO love
the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, in exchange for our liberation.
For
God so love the World, that He sent His only Son to die, so that
you and I can have eternal life.
Hallelujah! The chains are broken. The
Enemy is defeated. Man is liberated at last.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ into
your life as your Lord and Saviour?
Please, do not allow his death to be a
waste in your life. If you are ready to accept him, kindly say this simple
prayer ‘Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that you are
the son of God, and you came to this world to die for my sin. Forgive me of all
my wrong doings and give me a new beginning. Thank you Jesus for coming into my
life, now I know that I am born again’.
Congratulations! You are now a Child of
God. Get into a good Bible based Church and your life shall not remain the same
again.
Your testimony is next in Jesus name!
