“That everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:15).
God loves you.
It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done. It doesn’t matter what’s happened to you.
God loves you.
But this is only half the story. God loves you, but unless you receive God’s love and believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord, God’s love for you doesn’t mean anything.
Because God loves you, even though he could, even though he is absolutely deserving of our love, God will not force nor coerce you to love him back.
What you choose to do with God’s love, however, has eternal consequence.
C. S. Lewis wrote, “At the end, there are only two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God will say, ‘Thy will be done.’”
God loves you. God made a way through his Son Jesus so that everyone who believe in him will be saved. But should you continue to reject God’s offer of life through his Son, God will honor your will.
God loves you. Choose him. Trust him. Believe in him.
