16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NLT)
What would you give up for someone else to live on? I love how this version provides the statement by saying, “for this is how God loved the world:”. This gets me excited because it’s nothing like knowing that there is someone thinking about you and you don’t even know it. That there is someone preparing things for you so that when you get there everything is already taken care of. That is how much God loves you.
HERE IT IS…
You want to know what UNCONDITIONAL love is. Read this verse again and again. For someone to love you to the point that they would sacrifice who they are for you even when they know you’re going to mess up again. God loves you this much! He loves you so that you won’t have to worry about what is to come. All you have to do is follow him and he will lead you to what he has prepared for you. If you don’t believe me change one word and watch it make sense. “For this is how much God loved YOU!
