Spend some time thanking God for the amazing gift of eternal life...

Forgiven and Free; Today's Bible Verse and Devotional.

John 3:17 comes right after one of the most famous verses in the Bible, and it continues to clarify throwers bring us eternal life. The great gift of God through Jesus comes to all who believe in Jesus Christ as the way to salvation.

John tells us that Jesus did not come into the world to condemn the world because of its sin but rather to save the world through His life, death, and resurrection.

It can be easy to feel condemned or guilty because we don't often see ourselves as worthy of God's love. But this verse tells us something important—regardless of who you are or what you've done, you are loved by God.

God is not trying to fill you with guilt or make your life difficult. He wants the best for you and desires a relationship with you. He loved us so much that He sent His only Son to the earth to give us grace and life that we did not deserve.

While it is true that Jesus exposes the darkness of this world (John 3:19), anyone who believes in Jesus and follows Him will experience salvation and all that God has to offer.

If we choose to follow the ways of this world rather than Jesus, then our actions and thoughts will lead us to condemnation and death. But if we follow Jesus and believe in His Word, then we will experience eternal life in our relationship with God. 

And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. John 3:19 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.3.19.ESV

Spend some time thanking God for the amazing gift of eternal life that He has given to you for free. Continue to walk in the light of Jesus, knowing that you are no longer condemned but forgiven and free.
