Of God's Love

Of God’s love,

“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.  
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 he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 
                                                                                                            John 3:16-18.
Here is perhaps one of he best known quotes from the bible. It expresses God’s love and a warning to mankind.
The choice is yours. It is an act of faith.
I’ve heard it said that salvation is like a free meal. It’s there for the taking. All you have to do to receive it’s nourishment is eat it. Take it in.
Paul makes this very clear when he states,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
                                                                     Ephesians 2:8,9 
Still many cannot accept this gift, Paul stating,
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  
For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.  
Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,  but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,  but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.  For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.” 
                                                                                                                  1 Corinthians 1:18-25
The way I look at it if what I believe as a Christian is foolish then I have lost nothing.
But if I am right those who don’t believe in Jesus have a lot to worry about.
Think about it.
