Fr. James: For God so loved the world

Dear friends,
The peace of the Lord be always with you.

“GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD.”  (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.”

The word “love” that John uses comes from the Greek word “agape” which refers to God’s unconditional love.  It is God’s nature to love, “for God is love.”  (1 John 4:8).

If you replace the word ” the world” with the word “me” then it would read: “For God so loved “me”  ………
God loves you unconditionally no matter who you are, where you come from, what color you areor  what sin you might ever have committed.

God loves YOU!

We read in Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

Christ loves YOU! Christ died for YOU!

May God help us to love our family members and all other people unconditionally  as God  in Christ loves us. May God bless you  with your family and friends and protect you  by the  precious blood of Jesus. Christ our Lord God and Savior.

Brother James.
