A friend of mine at work told me about this video today. It was shown during last weekend's Broncos vs. New England NFL play-off game. Cool video and the end especially makes me smile!
A lot of people think God's message is real complicated. I guess they get that idea because it all flows from that big, complicated book called the Bible. How can anybody read that?! And on top of that so many of those Christians people seem pretty hypocritical and judgmental don't they? Is that really how God works?
God's message, if you take just a moment to learn it, is one of simple love and salvation! John 3:16 so famously captures the essence of God's love as evidenced in the life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus...
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
But the verses that follow, John 3:17-21 are less famous but no less important...
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
Jesus came to save you and not to condemn you! But that salvation comes with one condition, belief. Believe in Jesus and you will have eternal life. Believe in Jesus and the darkness which can fill the hearts and minds of unbelievers suddenly gives way to the light of understanding and the light of God's truth! The only truth. A simple message really. God loves you and He sent Jesus to save you from the darkness of the world! Jesus himself said that he is, ...the way and the truth and the life...(John 14:6)
If you only believe and accept these simple truths your life will be changed!
