TEN  OF THE GREATEST THINGS in the BIBLE -

 JOHN 3. 16 - GOD's LOVE TOWARD US

THE RESURRECTION

ROMANS ch. 1: v. 1 -4 

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,

called to be an apostle, 

separated unto the 

Gospel of God, (which

had promised afore by the 

prophets 

in the Holy Scriptures.) 

Concerning His Son Jesus Christ

which was made of the seed of 

David according to the flesh, 

And declared to be the Son of God 

with power,

according to the 

spirit of Holiness, 

by the resurrection

from the dead: 

In this Paul declares

that the 

RESURRECTION 

is the 

reality 

of God's love

toward us.

Let us consider 

His Love.

JOHN 3 .16

FOR GOD SO LOVED 

THE WORLD, 

THAT HE GAVE 

HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN

SON, THAT 

WHOSOEVER

BELIEVETH IN HIM

SHOULD NOT PERISH,

BUT

HAVE EVERLASTING 

LIFE. 

CONSIDER THESE 10 

GREAT 

TRUTHS  

FOUND IN THE BIBLE, 

KJV - THE HOLY BIBLE

1.  GOD SO LOVED

IT IS GOD Who has

taken the initiative.

I John 4.19 

We love Him, because 

He first loved us.

2. GOD'S LOVE was

demonstrated to 

the WORLD 

His Love included all of us,

everyone.

3.  GOD'S LOVE in giving

the gift of HIS ONLY

BEGOTTEN SON

- 

The SON of GOD was

from everlasting ...

 John 1.1  In the beginning 

was the Word, and 

the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. 

John 1.2 The same was in the 

beginning with God. 

John 1.3 All things were made

by Him, and without Him

was not anything 

made

that was made.

John 1.4 

In Him was Life,

and the Life

was the Light of men. 

Think of it.

God the Father, who is 

Spirit always was 

with the Son

there never 

was a time

when 

they were apart.

The Holy Spirit 

is spoken of in 

God's Word the Bible

as "GOD." 

When Jesus was born in

Bethlehem, he did 

not begin then - 

He "was from everlasting" 

He Himself said in 

John 14.6 

I am the Way, the 

Truth, and 

the Life, 

No man cometh unto

the Father,

but by me.

When asked by Philip that

He show them the way, Jesus 

said "Have I been with you

so long a time with you , and yet

thou hast not known me, 

Philip?  he that hath seen

me hath seen the Father,: 

and how sayest thou then,

Show us the Father?

Believest thou not that 

I am in the Father,

and the Father in me?

the words that I speak 

unto you, I speak not

of myself, but the Father

that dwelleth in me, He 

doeth the works.

Believe me that I 

am in the Father,

and the Father in me: 

or else believe me for the

very works' sake. 

John 14. 6 -11

4. God's Love is the Greatest

Possession of any thing 

ever given to us.  HIS LOVE

is demonstrated from Genesis

to Revelation in that

His SON JESUS CHRIST is 

revealed in the Bible

from cover to cover.

EVERLASTING LIFE 

is the greatest possession

any one can receive.

It is available to
any 
who
will receive 
HIS GIFT OF HIS SON

5.  HIS LOVE IS FOR 

WHO SO EVER 

WILL BELIEVE

ON HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

John 1.12 

As many as received Him,

to them gave He power

to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe

on His name.

6. THE GREATEST SIMPLICITY

that GOD has given us - 

the SIMPLE 

ACT Of

BELIEVING

to trust 

to rely 

to lean upon

to put my confidence in 

SIMPLE 

FAITH

JOHN 12.48 -50

He that rejecteth me, and

receiveth not my words, hath 

one that judgeth him: the word

that I have spoken, the same

shall judge him in the last

day. For I have not spoken

of myself: but the Father

which sent me, he gave me

a commandment, what I should say,

and what I should speak.

And I know that His commandment

is life everlasting: whatsoever

I speak, therefore,

as the Father hath

said unto Me, so I speak.

John 8. 48 - 50

7. JESUS CHRIST has offered us

 

EVERLASTING LIFE -

 TO BELIEVE ON HIM IS THE GREATEST

DELIVERY 

of any promise

of any hope

of any prospect

IT IS THE SURE HOPE

IN A TROUBLED WORLD.

8.   THE GREATEST TRAGEDY

is to reject the SAVIOR

GOD"S GREATEST GIFT

is GIVEN

but He gives us a choice

He never pushes

He never chides

He only gives 

the C H O I C E 

9.  WE HAVE THEREFORE THE 

GREATEST NECESSITY 

TO  RECEIVE BY FAITH 

THROUGH GRACE

Underserved 

Unwanted

Disregarded

Disdained

YET 

GOD STILL OFFERS

A N Y O N E 

the Gift of Forgiveness

of Everlasting Life

IN HIS SON

 10.EVERLASTING

comes with

knowing

I as a sinner

need a Savior 

 God gives this 

FREE GIFT

that

when I accept the payment

of the BLOOD of JESUS

as my payment

for my sin 

debt

He not only gives 

me 

THE SPIRIT 

of JESUS 

to dwell in me.

I no longer 

am alive to sin, 

but alive to God.

I no longer 

am beholden

to 

my old sin nature

the world 

or the 

devil

for GOD 

IS 

NOW 

MY LORD AND SAVIOR

JESUS CHRIST

who 

when Love comes 

in 

fear 

goes out the door.

I John 5.4 

For whatsoever is born

of God overcometh the 

world: and this is 

the VICTORY

that overcometh

the world, 

even our 

F A I T H.

We now have

two natures,

the old and the new

The NEW is LIFE

Life living now

in Christ. 

The Greatest Gift ever given

GOD'S LOVE. 

Romans 3.23

For all have

sinned 

and come short

of the glory of God.

Romans 6.23

For the wages of sin

is death,

but the gift of God

is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ,

Our Lord. 

Isaiah 53.6 

All we like sheep have

gone astray:

we have turned

every one

to his own way;

and the LORD

hath laid on Him 

the iniquity of us all.

Luke 9.23, 24

And he said to them all,

If any man will come 

after me, let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross

daily, 

and follow me.

For whosoever

will save his life, shall

lose it: But whosoever will

lose his life for my sake shall

the same shall save it. 

I urge you to consider

that Jesus said

He is coming soon to 

take HIS BRIDE HOME

TO HIMSELF

and that means

every one who

names the Name

of Christ who truly

believes

will go to be 

with HIM...

ARE YOU READY? 

Rev. 22.19 

He which testifies

these things saith, Surely I come 

quickly.   Amen.  Even so,

come, Lord Jesus. 

Galatians 2.20 

I am crucified with Christ; 

nevertheless I live;

yet not I, 

but Christ,

liveth in me:

and I life which I now live

in the flesh, I live

by the faith

of the Son of God, 

who loved

me

and gave 

Himself for me.

Galatians 2.20 

RESURRECTION - JESUS IS RISEN AS HE SAID

RESURRECTION - JESUS IS RISEN AS HE SAID

            Matthew 28.1  In the end of the sabbath, as it began 

              to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary

               Magdalene and the other Mary to see he sepulchre.

              Matthew 28.2  And, behold, thee was a great earth-

              quake: for the angel of the Lord descended from 

              heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from 

               the door, and sat upon it. 

              Matthew 28.3  His countenance was like lightning, 

            and his raiment white as snow:  

                Matthew 28.4  And for fear of him the keepers 

               did shake, and became as dead men. 

                 Matthew 28.5   And the angel answered, and said

               unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye 

               seek Jesus, which was crucified. 

                Matthew 28. 6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he

               said.  Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 

               Matthew 28.7  And go quickly, and tell his disciples

                 that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, he 

                 goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see

                  him:  I have told you.  

             Matthew 28.8  And they departed quickly from 

                the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did 

                run to bring his disciples word. 

               Matthew 28.9   And as they went to tell His disciples, 

                 behold, Jesus met them, saying,  All Hail.  and they

             came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

                Matthew 28.10   Then said Jesus unto them, saying, 

              Be not afraid;  go tell my brethren that they go into 

                Galilee. and there they shall see me. 

                        The last three days had been so heavy, so sad,

              and they missed Jesus so much.    They kept thinking

               has this really happened.  Yes, it really happened. 

                  Over and over in their minds and in their hearts 

                    the events of the last week they went over and 

                     over.    

                     

                       These ladies came to the tomb expecting to

                         have to find a way in.   

                           The  earthquake took care of that, and 

                        the Angel came and sat on the very stone 

                        that had held the door closed. 

                         The guards became "as dead" ones - they

                        were in a state of somber fright. 

                          The ladies looked and the angel spoke to

                         them.   What news !   ? ?   

                             It does not say whether they looked to see

                           if he was not really there -   they believed 

                           the angel and started running to give the 

                           news the blessed news  that JESUS HAS 

                             RISEN AS HE SAID.

                        As they are running the Lord Himself showed

                            himself to them.   It must have been so 

                           grand !    They clung to his feet, and 

                             yes, worshipped Him.   

         

                              The word in the Greek for "worshipped" 

                             is to bow - to prostrate oneself at the feet 

                              of the One being worshipped. 

                             When Jesus was calling men "repent ye, for 

                           the Kingdom of heaven is at hand"  he healed

                          many people.   They "worshipped" him.   

                           There are some who say, Jesus never 

                              claimed to be God, but I beg to differ. 

                           Scripture tells us again and again, that 

                             the very reason and the only reason 

                           He died on the Cross was that He 

                              Declared Himself to be the Very Son of 

                             God.     It may interest you to know that 

                              legally the trials of Jesus were unjust

                                because it was illegal most of all 

                             in the Law of Moses, and in tradition, 

                              that one could not be tried for His own  

                              word, it had to be two witnesses that 

                            agreed.   

                               So you see, when the High Priest 

                               asked, (Matthew 27.63 I adjure you 

                              by the living God, that thou tell us 

                              whether thou be the Christ, the Son 

                              of God."    

                               (Matthew 27.64) Jesus saith unto him,

                                Thou hast said; nevertheless I say unto

                                 you, Hereafter ye shall see the Son 

                                of man sitting on the right hand of 

                                     power, coming in the clouds of 

                               heaven."   

                           

                               The Risen Savior took the sins of all

                                   mankind upon Himself when He 

                                  willingly went to the Cross.

              

                                In John the 3rd Chapter Jesus told 

                           a ruler named Nicodemus that was exa tly

                           why He came into the world.   

                            John chapter 3.

                              verse 11.  Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, 

                              we know that we do know, and testify

                             that we have seen, and ye receive not 

                            my witness. 

                            verse 12.  If I have told you earthly things, 

                           and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, 

                          if I tell you of heavenly things? 

                              verse 13.  And no man hath ascended up

                             to heaven, but he that came down from 

                             heaven, even the Son of man which is in 

                            heaven.   

                           verse 14.   And as Moses lifted up the 

                         serpent in the wilderness, even so must the

                           Son of man be lifted up.

                            verse 15.  That whosoever believeth in 

                            him should not perish, but have 

                              everlasting life. 

                              verse 16.  FOR GOD SO LOVED THE 

                            WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY 

                           BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER 

                            BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT 

                             PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING

                           LIFE. 

                            verse 17. For God sent not His son into 

                           the world to condemn the world, but 

                            that the world through him might be 

                            saved.   

                            verse 18. He that believeth on him is 

                              not condemned; but he that believeth

                               not is condemned already, because 

                              he hath not believe in the name of 

                              the only begotten Son of God. 

                           

                           Only the Risen Christ can change 

                                  a life -  for only in the 

                              shed blood of Jesus the Pure 

                          and Sinless Son of God could 

                            bear the sin of all that we 

                            might come to God the Father

                            through His Name, and it is 

                           told us that we are to go and tell

                                GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU.

                           To find God's Love is to find Hope.

                             The LORD HIMSELF is the same 

                            yesterday, today, and forever. 

                                   Hebrews 13.8 

                                Jesus Christ the Same Yesterday

                                Today and Forever. 

                                    

                                          

                                          AS FORGETMENOTS BLOOM IN THE SPRING
                                            MAY YOU FIND RESURRECTION POWER
                                               BY LETTING JESUS BE YOUR SAVIOR
                                                AND ASKING HIM TO DO IT BECAUSE
                                                  HE ALONE IS ABLE TO SAVE.
