God So Loved... John 3:16 Proves It

The Bible tells us that "God is love."  But does that really mean God loves us?  How can He love people who do not always do the right thing or openly commit sin?  How can God love people who do not know Him or those who appear to turn their back on Him?  Sin separates mankind from God.  That separation meant we all were destined for eternity in hell instead of in heaven.  However God so muchly loved the men and women He created that He planned a way for them to change their destiny and be saved.  That salvation plan was/IS through Jesus Christ.  

"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." - John 3:16 (KJV)

God proved His love for mankind by Jesus Christ dying for our sins on the cross.  Jesus, the son of God, proved His love for us by willingly going to the cross for the freedom of our souls.  The death for mankind's sin on the cross was the ultimate signal of love everlasting.  Once you believe in Christ, accept His love, and pray for salvation - you are forgiven, no longer a lost child, and reunited with God.  Your personal sins are forgiven and eternal life in heaven for you has been promised.  As Christ was resurrected and returned to heaven, so will you be with God the Father too.
