The Subject of the Bible - Jesus

The Verb - Give.
The Verb - Give.
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
God did not just say he loved us, he gave love.
He gave is the verb. God gave to us and we give because of that.
He gave his life - we are to give our lives.
He gave his one and only son to be slaughtered for our sins so we would not have to die for our sins.
Response - We give him our lives.
He doesn’t call us to become believers. He call us to be followers… to give him everything.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
