Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

July 6, 2011

                                                                                His Love, His Gift, His Son

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

  Jesus as Healer
  and Teacher
 Birth of Jesus
  "Of all the stars in the sky, the pole star is the most useful to the mariner. This text is a pole star, guiding souls to salvation.
  Several words in it shine with peculiar brilliance. Here we have God's love, with a "so" to it, which marks its measureless greatness. Then we have God's gift in all its freeness and greatness. This also is God's Son, that unique and priceless gift of a love that could never fully show itself till heaven's Only-begotten had been sent to live and die for men.
             His Death
         His Resurrection
  Then there is the simple requirement of believing, which graciously points to a way of salvation. This is backed by a wide description, "whoever believes in Him." Then comes the great promise, that believers in Jesus shall not perish, but have everlasting life. This is cheering to all. We believe in the Lord Jesus, and we have eternal life."(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

    Him ascending into
    heaven to the Father, 
    to sit at the right
    hand of God.

  1. Thank You Father, for sending Your Only-begotten Son to die for our sins and inquities so that we may have everlasting life with You and Your Son. Thank You Lord Jesus, for being born of man-kind, walking the earth and teaching us the ways of the Father, and for being the ultimate Blood Sacrifice for our sins and inquities. For that may You be blessed with all the souls of man. This I pray in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen.
