God Does NOT Love Us Because We Love HIM

God Does Not Love Us
Because We Love Him

He Loved Us First.

And Gave His Only Begotten Son that we might be reconciled to Him
And have Everlasting Life.

John 3:16 For God so Loved the World { you and me}
That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him
Should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He who believes in Him { Jesus Christ and all He stands for…His life, His death, being God Himself.} is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

{So you see, God does Not Condemn us, we condemn ourselves by our unbelief.}

1 John 4: 19 We love Him, because He First loved us.

So you see, Everything you have Comes From God…….
Even Our Ability To Love Him.
Even Our Faith To Believe.

We Can NOT Have GOD Without JESUS

Today, It Is Popular To Think
That You Can Believe In God
But Not Believe In Jesus Christ.


This is Just NOT Possible.

And I am talking about a Believing, Saving Faith, Type of Belief,
from the Heart, Not just Intellectual Knowledge.

We need to understand that Salvation is Belief from The Heart,
Not the Mind. Belief in Who He is and What He has done for us..
The Son of God. He is God.
The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are one.

Even the devils believed in Christ. They even acknowledged that He was the Son of God. They certainly did not trust Him for their Eternal Salvation, or make Him Lord of their Life.

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe….and tremble!

When we accept Jesus Christ death on the cross as payment for our sins, repent and turn from sin, accept Christ as our Lord, Master of our Life….
Then we have Eternal Life Through Him.

Romans 6:23 For the Wages of Sin is Death, but the Gift of God is Eternal Life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now, we can choose to pay our own penalty….die for our own sin.
This is actually what we deserve.
Or we can be wise….and choose Christ’s Payment For Our Sin, His Death on the Cross. Sin carries a Blood Penalty.

John 3: 16 For God so Loved the World {you and me} that He Gave His Only Son…….to pay Our Sin Debt. What Love has the Father for Us.
Who would you give your Only Child’s Life For???

1 John 2: 22-23 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti Christ who denies the Father and the Son.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either, he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

The Father and Son are One.
Jesus said …….I and my Father are One.

You can Not have one without the other.
