God’s Promise: Live Forever

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.

Yet To Be #169

His love is vast, so great, reaching out to everyone who comes to Him freely.
He gives; His greatest gift of all is the Son of His infinite love.
How can we not accept this gift?
How do we callously turn away, mock Him, trample on his kindness, forsake His mercy and still dare to call ourselves a child of God when we hate the son of His love, Jesus the Christ?
Yet, those who believe and trust in Him are gifted with a promise that transcends all manner of understanding. It is the unmerited and divine promise of life eternal, to live forever.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Hope never dies

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  1Peter 1 verse 3

Hope means expectation, desire, something to look forward to; hope never dies. Christ is our hope. Mercy means compassion, forgiveness, kindness.  God has granted these favours on us – He sent His son to die for us. He raised His son from the dead so that we can live forever.
