INTRODUCTION
I. GOD’S SELECTION
I. GOD’S SELECTION
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD: SYSTEM
THE WORLD: PEOPLE
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
WE OWE HIM
PURITY BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “DON’T COMMIT ADULTERY” BUT YOU GAVE IMPURITY
TRUTH BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “DON’T LIE” BUT I GAVE FALSEHOOD
HONESTY BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “DON’T STEAL” BUT I GAVE DECEIT
HONOR BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER” BUT I GAVE DISRESPECT
LOVE BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “DON’T MURDER” BUT I GAVE HATE
PEACE BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “DON’T COVET WHAT YOU NEIGHBOR HAS” BUT I GAVE DISCORD
COMMITMENT BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY” BUT I GAVE LAZINESS
LOYALTY BECAUSE THE WORD SAID, “HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME” BUT MAN GAVE DISLOYALTY
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
II. GOD’S SACRIFICE
II. GOD’S SACRIFICE
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
POISONOUS SNAKES ENTERED THE CAMP OF ISRAEL BIT THE PEOPLE WHICH CAUSED THEM TO DIE
GOD SENT HIS SON
CHRIST WAS WILLING TO?
…pay the price, however much that may be...
...TO go the distance, however far that may be...
... to sacrifice, however often that may be...
...to take time to listen, however long that may take...
…to work at it', however hard that may be...
…HE REFUSED to give up and quit....!
HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS
BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
PIERCED FOR OUR GUILT
SUFFERED FOR OUR SHAME
TORTURED FOR OUR SHORTCOMINGS
BEATEN FOR OUR WRONGS
AND CRUCIFIED FOR OUR SINS
III. GOD’S STIPULATION
III. GOD’S STIPULATION
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
JUST AS THE LOOKED ON THE BRASEN SERPENT AND WAS HEALED
IF YOU WILL PUT YOUR TRUST IN
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
IV. GOD’S STIPEND
IV. GOD’S STIPEND
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NEW LIFE
SAVE FROM THE PENALTY OF SIN
SAVING FROM THE POWER OF SIN
SAVED FROM THE PRESENCE OF SIN
FOREVER WITH HIM
PAUL DESCRIBED IT IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
We love Him because He first loved us.
Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
NOW THAT’S LOVE
Love caused Jesus
To leave heaven’s glory
Love caused Jesus
To preach the gospel of the Kingdom
Love cause Jesus
To heal the sick, raise the dead, and open the blinded eye
Love cause Jesus
To endure the lies
Love cause Jesus
To endure the cross
Love cause Jesus
To give His back, His hands, His head
Love cause Jesus to give His life
He DIED A GRUESOME DEATH ON FRIDAY
NOW THAT’S LOVE
THE BIBLE STATES
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
HE DIED FOR EVERY LIE YOU TOLD
HE DIED FOR EVERY CRIME YOU COMMITTED
HE DIED FOR EVERY DITCH YOU DUG
HE DIED FOR EVERY HEART YOU BROKE
HE DIED FOR EVERY CHARACTER YOU ASSASSINATED
HE DIED FOR EVERY SIN YOU COMMITTED
NOW THAT’S LOVE!
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

FORGIVENESS TO THE FUGITIVE
COMPASSION TO THE CONDEMNED
