NOTE: This is the end, last one, final and numero uno of the "Top 10 List of Scripture". These are verses that will change lives.)
# 1 on the Top 10 List of Scripture
John 3:17 & 1 John 3:16 (nlt)
God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him…We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
THE END ... finally after two weeks we've come to the bottom of the barrel or the top of the heap. Whichever it may be, this verse (really two verses) are the most important in our countdown to the top verse in Scripture that will change lives.
So important, I couldn't narrow it to just one verse. So, I believe that these two verses give us principles to live by, power to share, people to see and care for and real passion to do what God has called us to do.
TOP SHELF...Jesus came to give life (look at John 10:10 as well). Some people think that God would rather judge than love. Others think that He is so full of love that He cannot judge. Yet this perfect God of ours is Sovereign (perfect in every way and righteous). He came to love and give.
MUST HAVE ...life for life. That is what Jesus died (John 12:24,32). He gave His life so that we could have life.
What an example for God's kids to follow.
Make sharing salvation the priority and talk about Jesus every chance you get. Let those who need judgement hear God and experience His love and life through us. That is no small task.
I pray that these verses have encouraged you as they have me. Remember, It is all about Jesus. That is huge!
Coming next week: July 4th, a new house and life on the beach.
