God so Loved the World

John chapter 3 verse 16

So for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life and today I want to focus on the first six words there for God so loved the world. Because that tells us God's motivation and sending Jesus Is God so loved the world. that he gave his only begotten son. So what was the motivation here for God giving us his son, isn't it? Love God so loved this world that we live in. Motivation. Love motivated him to give Jesus to die for us to understand a bit more about this first John chapter 4. This is 8 to 10.

first John chapter 4 I'm going to read verses 8 to 10.

This is what he that loveth not knoweth. Not God for God is love and then this was manifested the love of God towards us because the God sent his only begotten son into the world that we might live through him here in this love. Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the preparation return for our sins in this demonstration of sending price to us is love was manifested. The manifestation of God's love is revealed in the sending of Jesus, isn't it? It's not that Got Started Loving eyes. When he sent Jesus Christ and he's trying to convince her to become aware of this very fact that he loves us.

How can you demonstrate any better than giving up his only begotten son to die on the cross for us? That's the manifestation or demonstration, but I'm going to prove to you that I love you. And here's the proof. I've sent my son to die. Not Prosper you. That just shows you that I love you.

And if you come to 1st Peter chapter 1 1st Peter chapter 1

that's something we need to a be very clear on here when it comes to God's love for us First Peter chapter 1.

Face 18 to 20 1st Peter chapter 1 verses 18 to 20 something important for us to understand about the love of God for us and Peter bring something at very important. The 1st Peter 1 verse 18 says put as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from the vain conversation received by the tradition of your father, but you redeem with the precious blood of Christ Mission support of the world was mine. In these last times was manifested on the cross. But when was the ordained for Christ to become the Lamb of God, when did God declare to be the Savior for the world? How do you say that? He was ordained before the foundation of the world. So before God created the world before God created man and woman. It was already decided to send Jesus.

That's important because God loved us so loved us before he even made us.

That He sent Jesus you might be thinking at work. Well, I'm going to give you the example here. And mothers and fathers will relate to this. When do you start loving your child? After it's been born or before has been born. How many times have you seen a pregnant mother and she goes to lift a box and a husband?

Lego Batman

We are really love our child before it's born a fight. We start spending money. We start buying things before they even come out.

We have to buy it caught we have to buy a baby seat by Nazis and clothes and booties and paint the room and make everything ready for this baby. It's not even there yet.

See what happens with already loved it.

into this world and gold also as he was preparing for our birth little different and it's important. Because the love of the parent the love of the parent begins immediately, doesn't it? in the womb

is important for us to recognize that the love of a parent begins before actually born why is that important?

Parent's Love for their child is not dependent on what he look like.

No, depending on what they do. It's not dependent on what they don't do. Is dependent upon the fairy fact, it is their child. When you just love your child because it's your child. It didn't matter if I had brown hair red hair black hair pink hair that mother 65ft. Does it matter? If that was your top and you love your child just because of who they are not what they are and you might have the time I bring you moments of happiness because of things they do or whatever, but that doesn't change your love. Your love is your love. And that's the same with God. Sometimes children make the mistake and we all make mistakes even I mean I'm 46, but you still have it inside your nature to solve get your parents approval. You always want your parents to approve. To accept you and to be proud of you. It seems to be instinctive in human nature in there. And sometimes we think we have to win their love.

We spend our life trying to win our parents approval by doing what they want us to do anything unless we do that they'll be happy and it's nothing wrong with trying to make other people happy. But when it comes to God, you know, we do the same thing. We think that we have to do things. to make good lovers We think that we have to win God's love we have to impress him so much that he might love it.

That's not how it works. God loved us before the minute before we even stepped on this afternoon.

We are Sons and Daughters of him. He created us he made that we are his children by right. And he loves us just because of that very fun.

We must not spend our lifetime to Wingate affection.

What's wrong? I said I said the steps of the devil. Do you know that?

God already has affection and love for us is there. is changeless it doesn't change.

In the book of Isaiah chapter 59 the prophet brings out a very interesting thought regarding brought here as Aya chapter 59. I'm going to read verses 16 and 17.

Isaiah chapter 59 reading verse 16 and 17

Cuz I 5916.

This happened to me last week. How's the timer not to do that again?

Why virus not man?

Took me a long time this morning to find this verse. And then I found it in the in the bedroom.

That's not the one I'm after.

Just give me a second here because I would I do want to find this bears.

Might have to find a later for you. but it says

It says that a mother. made forsake her children But I the Lord will never forsake you forget her child children are abandoned by parents that God says I will not abandon you his love is so deep and his real strong and it's very important going to let me think about God or trying late to God God wants us to relate to him as our father. Our heavenly father. I let's go to the Book of Luke.

Luke Chapter 11 Yeah, I'm verse 1 and 2. Luke chapter 11 verse 1 and 2

when Jesus told the disciples to pray has rotational Luke chapter 11 verses 1 and 2 and it came to pass that I was praying in a certain place when he ceased one of disciple said to him Lord teach us to pray as John also told his disciples to the disciples. Did you know how to pray that they didn't know how to talk to God that we talked about teachers. We say to God, how do we just start off?

Invest to Jesus said well when you pray this is what you say you start off what our father.

That's an interesting beginning. Isn't it? Just our prayer? What is Jesus trying to teach them? He's trying to start a relationship yet. She's just trying to say guess. You know, sometimes you think of God as the big creator of the universe is a way way out. There is so big and we're dying here so small, but Jesus says when you pray, you know God as your father he made you he created you. I know what you to call God your father.

Do we do that? When you play the god, do you call God our Father or your heavenly father to be call him father is very important. If we just say, oh dear God. Please bless us with the word of God it sometimes can be very unemotional unattached if we use the word. father What does that suggest to us that we are his wife? children and he is our father. It's a relationship. It brings his very much closer to him and that's what Jesus wanted to understand.

Because we are his children. And he is our father. That's the reason and if you come to Sam's hundred and three. Psalms 103

investigate

XIV I get why didn't I when I turn the wheel I keep getting the reference wrong. I got it right this time.

Here go describes himself here for the Summers and just pick up the language on the love. That's in his heart here. The Lord is merciful and gracious. Slow to anger and plenteous in Mercy. He will not always chide neither. Will he keep his anger forever? He has not dealt with us after our sins. Nor has he rewarded us according to our iniquities. But just like heaven as Heaven is high above the air. So the great is his Mercy towards them that fear Him. As far as the East is from the West. So far has he removed our transgressions from us? Investor teen says like as a father has his children. So the Lord pities them that fear him, but he knows our frame he remembers that we are but what about us? He knows our Frailty as me and it says God loves has a father dies. He's merciful to us. He's tender to be slow to anger. He's giving he's caring I need $0.50 payments are to be like Are we to know that don't we say all well, you know if a child more than an adult.

Let me say that it's only a child doesn't understand.

and that's what God's looking dinosaurs like

to go to make mistakes running me to blast. Going to make mistakes in context. I need to say is I pretty understand because I love you as a child. You know, if you think of God Living For Eternity compared to how old we are.

How much experience do we really have in life, even if we hit 80 years if you compare it to Eternity, we're really just toddler still our favorite little toddlers in learning the ways of God. I mean in the bible, they used to live two authors, and then they in the beginning.

But honestly still lived a thousand. Can you imagine so what is 100 compared to a thousand? That's like a hundred euro compared to a 10 year old.

We only like 10 year olds compared to what they were in the beginning. No wonder we make mistakes. the one that God Says with

Not the devil. You think that God's this pic Taskmaster with a weapon? Often we get. Conception because sometimes our parents mistreated that sometimes we have our own conception of what God is because of that.

But it says God so loved the world. Why because we are his children? That's why just plain simplified. No, I want us to look a little bit up at this other part of this beds. God so loved the world. What does that mean? I want to see think about it. What does it mean God so loved the world because in 1st John that says love not the world. Northern things in it

God so loved the world in size and hidden personas has not love the world or anything in it.

Does that mean?

When it says God so loved the world. What is the world in this context?

some people

It's not the sins, but the people are doing.

Go doesn't love a sin.

What is the people is not is the sinner? Do you know that God?

Loves The Sinner. But at the same time, what does he hate? listen No human nature. What do we do? We swept swap them not my research them. We had centers.

That we love kissing. You say we go to opposite?

Instead of hitting the sin and loving the person. We hit a person I love with him.

And that's why we need to be born again. We need to be born again. I also love people. While hitting sent and let's come to the Book of Romans chapter 5. Romans chapter 5

I'm going to read verses 6 to 8 explain the store on our minds God so loved the world. What does it mean? He loved this world really Romans chapter 5 We going to be versus 6 to 8.

For when we were yet without strength and do time Christ died for the righteous. Is that what it says? Christ died for the Holy One What does it say? The ungodly? Yes. What does it mean to be on Godly by the way?

It's all episode of being Godly. Isn't it? Ungodly means negative godliness? No godliness at all.

So Jesus died for the Godless. in society There's seven for scarcely a righteous man will for scarcely for the righteous man. One will die your pet Adventure But A Good Man somebody even there today. Are some people with dyed to see if I could find by? When God commanded his love to us. While we were yet sinners. Christ died for us while we were Sinners Jesus died for us. So when is his God love so loved the world so loud? the ungodly Sinners living in the world

Does that mean God loves Liars?

I didn't say God love lies. Does God love Liars? Did you catch a difference does that mean God loves thieves? Is it good love stealing? I just said that's got love to feet.

Does God love the murderer?

Golden Glove murder I just left that person who committed that murder.

We love Moses. Did Moses kill a man. Didn't David kill a man?

I lost my dress. Wasn't Zacchaeus a thief?

He loves Arceus. Oh, yes, there are many feasts and Robertson liars and adulterers and covet there's and idolaters in the Bible. and yet how you met the God Walk with

God so loved Human beings in this world and sometimes we think we go to become Godly in order for God to Lava. No, God loves us. Just the way we are.

How He Loves Us just the way we are And are ungodly State naked. before him

why is this? Why does God love the ungodly sinners in the world? Why isn't well let's come to the Book of Romans. chapter 3 this time Why doesn't God just left the righteous ones or the good ones or the Holy One? Romans chapter 3 verse 10 to 12 and inverse 23 I just read them. There is none righteous. No, not one. Why doesn't God love the righteous people in this world. because of a nanny to love there's nothing comes up with your righteous in yourself. Well, I'm here.

Go find me a righteous, man. You know, what a righteous man is in the eyes of God. someone who's never sinned from birth to death There was only one wasn't there Jesus Christ the righteous one. Every other one is filled every once in

that's why God loves the ungodly because there's nobody else to that.

All his children are sinners their all.

What does he want to keep them like that? Cuz you want them to stay like not know Jesus came here to turn the ungodly into Godly.

To turn this info into righteous. That's why he came here to save us from that condition. That's sinful conditioner verse 11. It says there's none that understands and there's none that seeks after God. This is what this is us by Nature.

They're all going out of the way. If there's 12 they are together become unprofitable. There's none that doeth good. No, not even one and there's 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

God so loved the world. in this condition This is the condition God for soul. You knew that when he made us we were going to reveal and become like this. And yet his love was so deep. And so I reaching that he wanted to still send his son to save us and he still wanted to make us.

You know what? This is what Abraham discovered?

Abraham discovered that God loves sinners God loves the ungodly.

And that if I is an ungodly mind if I would just pretend I'm Abraham and Abraham has an ungodly man believed in Jesus. God will take my ungodliness Unforgiven and make me like him. That's what he found in the wilderness when God came to him and chapter 4 just come over the page Romans chapter 4. vs128

What was Chapter 4 verses 1 to 8 what shall we say that Abraham our father as pertaining to the flesh has fine. So what did Abraham find what was so special about the discovery of Abraham? What If Abraham was justified by works he has been off the glory but not before God so did Abraham find if you live a good life God but love you is that what he found that if you live a good life go to justify you and get you to heaven No, that's not what I'm fine in Vestry for what says the scripture Abraham believed God. And it was counted to him for righteousness.

Abraham was ungodly sitting there just like you and me.

And he find something that if he believes in Jesus Christ.

God was going to count him to be righteous. Instead of a sinner Abraham you are Godly know you are my son. I'm going to count you as if you haven't done nothing wrong in your life because I'm going to give the life of my son for your life. And I'm going to take the sin of your life and put it on my son's life.

You noticed that words very important. It was counted to him. God I can't get it to him as if he was righteous and godly but you know, what if we accept Jesus Christ by faith and believe that he's forgiving our sins and meet us righteous in Christ. Do we walk around with her head high?

I'm so racist, but I thank you. God remember that the Publican and the Pharisee?

When you shave your head high.

the longest field goal sinful will always be aware of our sins won't we? We have a memory we might not suffer in the guilt and shame and the feet of condemnation of death anymore. Cuz that's for the memory of What we have done will never leave us. There's a reason for that. We must never forget forget where we came from. They will appreciate if we're God is taking us to

because the closer you come to Port. You know the closer you come to go to work to see yourself. Do you know that?

I want you to think about this in the corner is a spotlight and I'm standing over here.

How do I walk closer to the light?

The closer I get that light.

Hope you're seeing you see. And the more you thank God for having you in Saving you. That your love and appreciation would God become stronger because you see exactly what God saving here. That's what it says. It isn't. It saved a Wretch like Me is not the song.

And this is what your problem find. S5 Is there a brown fan of Romans chapter 4 verse 5 through him that works North? But believes on him that justifies, what does your Bible say there? Cuz there's no

Ungodly, yeah, mine says, I'm totally God justifies the ungodly and his faith is tented. for righteousness

What's the condition to be safe? What's the first condition we need to be to be safe. We have to meet this condition. Then the first condition to be saved is to be ungodly.

That's a condition. God Saves the ungodly

Well, isn't it lovely that we're all Naturals about one? You'll have to try living. You don't have to try. God Saves and makes righteous and godly people He's in the business. of loving and godly people Can we thank God for that. Are you guys even in our ungodliness?

And can we thank God that he doesn't leave us in it.

His love is so strong. He's not going to sit there and watch her suffer in the anus because I'm suffering. The further you got away from God the more suffering the gay.

It says like I still love you, but I'm giving Jesus to die for you. And if you believe in him, I'm going to no longer see that I'm godliness. I'm going to look up on you. I seen Jesus a perfect.

I'm going to transform you.

That's what it means when God so loved the world.

God so loved the ungodly people in the world, you know, some people have a misconception about church, you know. Are they going to church to think that a bit better than the rest? I think they're the only ones I'm holier than thou

You know what the church is so chilled to the hospital.

No, holy people come here because there is no hello. Holy people in Atlanta.

There's no righteous not want only people to come to church or sick people.

I'm godly people. Unholy people sinful people that's the only ones to come to church

And why do we come?

Because we have realized one thing. It despite all that. call still loves me. And he gave Jesus to die for me. That's why I'm here.

And if everybody in the world knew that they would also be here. Because that's what caused it has to be here. Isn't it? I come to worship God because I'm thanking him and praising him for loving me in mind Gardens.

I want us to turn the first John chapter 2. 1st John chapter 2

invest one into 1st John Chapter 2 verses 1 and 2

when it says God so loved the world.

That he gave his only begotten son for that world.

How many people in the world does not include?

Message God so loved the world. Is that the whole world? is some of the world Is it a portion of the world? Is it the majority of the world or is it the entire world? Because it says God loves ungodly Sinners. That's what it says. That's when he sent Jesus to save.

There's no distinction is that there's no separation

in first John chapter 2 this one into it says my little children. These things write I unto you that you do not send.

if anyone sins We have an advocate with the father. Even Jesus Christ the righteous. I know they're supposed to 1st John 2 verse 2. He is the atonement or propitiation our reconciliation. Whatever word you want to use all the same for our sins. So Christ died on the cross for our sins and not four hours only. But also for the sins of the whole world, this is a very very important for us to consider here. It says he has yet to meant for our sins know who is John writing to He's riding to the church the Christian Church. Doesn't he? He says Jesus made an atonement on the cross. That means Jesus reconciled the sins of the church the Believers at the cross. Jesus died for the sins of those who believe that's what it says.

That's not even just died for a select few. It says but also for the sins of the one.

What is the church to do mobile? I'm inside that's enough close the doors movie right now. Forget that right there. We are the chosen ones. Nope.

He says they're people like they're in the world ungodly people. Everywhere how many people live in Griffith at 25 to 35?

How many of them did Jesus die for? Every single one of them how many of them can be saved? Every single one of them if they choose to believe in Christ go to love them that it gave Jesus died at if they believe in him the live forever. And that's what it says. Finish is God so loved the world. It went everywhere to everyone nobody everybody.

No, I just want to finish on a closing thought here.

We hit a lot today about God lobsters name.

you think people can give.

You think the church is can be in in danger of teaching a false. Love of God.

Let's have a look at Galatians chapter 6. What's 7 + 8? There's one thing we need to realize about love. and the love of God

Galatians chapter 6 verse 7 and 8

I would say to you now it based on the words were going to read. That there is a deception. happening in this world today

Alyssa deception happening among Christianity Today.

Not just for that the church cuz that would be normal because this world full of deception but inside the church, there's a deception of God. What is CCR in. So for the words and perception of chapter 6 of Galatians. Be not deceived warning flag don't be deceived by it. God is Not mocked makes mockery of God. It makes mockery of the death of Christ. Be not deceived. There's a there's something happening that mocks. God knows what it is any kind of contracts it by saying this whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also heart rate right here at Solace to the flesh shall of the flesh reap what corruption and he that shows Our Lives to the spirit shall also reap Everlasting. So what's the perception?

The deception is this you can have your cake and eat it.

deception is this But you can think. But you can live a life according to the flesh. That means a life of sin open willful practice of sin. I don't mean making a mistake and committing sin doing something, you know at the same time saying God loves me, and I'm saved in Jesus.

He said his thoughts are deception. And you're mocking God because there's one thing God will never love.

I want you to listen to that. There's one thing God will never Le.

Oh, he loves The Sinner He sent Jesus to Die For The Sinner. medieval never lapson because sin killed his son on the cross. Send nailed him to a tree. Send ripped apart the heart of God himself on that cross.

And yet I hear it and I'm sure you hear it, too.

That there's voices being said today that God loves The Sinner so much that don't worry about the sin. He can still do that. She can still do that. It's okay. God loves us were saved by his grace.

That's a deception that says you're mocking God. You're actually mocking. If we do that.

if you plant

Banana tree you're getting bananas.

That's what it is. Whatever you put in the ground is coming up that's cheap, but you should crawl.

And it's according to what the seed is and it's the same way what we practice in life are going to read.

I want to see Luke Romans chapter 6. I just want to be quick here because I'm going to work for me other Romans chapter 6. best one to two

Romans chapter 6 verses 1 through 2

Are we saved by grace? We are on our way to look at it says in Romans chapter 6 verse 1 to 2. What shall we say? Then? Shall we continue in sin that Grace May abound? Well, the more send you have the more grace you need so we might as well send more because the more we send the more Grace will get that's what he saying. Shall we just keep on sinning because somebody going to send him to still get plenty and place, you know? Nope. It's a service to God forbid that we would think like that. How should we eat a day to send Liberty longer. You know God's grace is not a license to send you know that. To say that we are saved by grace not a license to commit sin and say off base. It's a license to stop seeing God's grace as a license to stop sinning. Do cats not it's a license to see us from sin. We don't need a license to sin in the human nature. God's grace as a license to stop from sending, you know, what Matthew 1:21 and I just got this person one more to finish Matthew 1:21.

And I don't know what other Bibles here sitting here. But let's have a look. Matthew chapter 1 verse 21, there's only a little difference in one word. So if we get the word wrong, it's going to make we're going to be in trouble.

Matthew 1 verse 21

when they Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and the angel appeared and said he has 21 talking about Maddie and she shall bring forth a son that I shall call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people in their sin. Is that what it says?

save them from there since no dancing from it. That's very important. That was the mission of Christ to destroy. Send. to destroy the Devil to destroy day and I just want to close here with one verse in Romans chapter 8 that's supposed to love that goes around. They're trying to say that we can love God while we openly rebelled against them and think they were going to walk into heaven that way it's not going to happen.

Only if we abide in Christ as the Bible says and hear though. We have a beautiful promise. The window when John says God so loved the world. That he gave his only begotten son. If we experience not laugh, if we believe that love if we can catch a glimpse of. Love, you know, it's the love between us and God the father that will keep us. It's the love that you develop and your experience with God between you and God as your heavenly father. That's what we'll actually keep you. That's what will ultimately save you. It's the love between you and go. Because notice what it says in Romans here chapter 8 verse 38 and 39.

Romans chapter 8 38 and 39 I'm persuaded. That neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present in your life nor things to come in the future nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the bot. I love of God which is in who Jesus Christ. Nothing and no one can separate us from God's love.

That's in Christ Jesus.

See what holds us. Butthole jazz in the midst of Temptation. I love of God towards us through Jesus Christ.

But love will hold you through them. Love will hold you to your face in the church yesterday files in the church as much as in the world, but the love of God. Not love will hold you through trials in the home yesterday, but the love of God within yourself trials within us. Bottles at be much fight. What will hold nothing and no one shall be able to see when we read that verse God so loved.

They will take it that he's talking to me. He's talking to you individually. It's talking to us that he gave Jesus to die. That we believe in him.

May God help us. Never to forget.

this close

RMS will Heavenly Father. We thank you Lord that we could spend some time this morning and meditating upon your work. We are totally dependent Lord upon your love. And we thank you for your love that you have loved us before you even meet us before we are born into this world. You already decided to send Jesus to die on the cross of Calvary for us. Help us to know love you don't have to try and win your love. You don't have to try and impress you to love us that you already love us. We just have to believe in that love to trust in that love and to grow are not love cuz that's what I'll keep our hearts and Minds we ask in Jesus name.
