John 3:16 - For God So Loved the World

We finally made it to John 3:16! It's such a famous verse. It is essential to take it in context with the rest of Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus. 

In this verse, we see that God is the primary actor; He is the one who saves us. Our natural path is one of death - of God's wrath. We must be saved from this. It is only through Jesus that we can be saved. No other path leads to salvation. We must believe in Jesus and Him alone!

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

What is Sharpen Your Arrows?

Children are arrows to be shot into the world. Do not send out dull and broken arrows. But send out sharp arrows! Train your children to love and serve God. Send them out with the Sword of the Spirit and the full armor of God.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." - Psalm 127:3-5
