The reading For This morning: John 3:16-17

What do you think when you hear about God’s love? Is it Conditional or Unconditional? Is God’s love for the whole world? Does the whole world appreciate God’s love? Brothers, the answer to all of these questions will determine our eternal future…

John 3:16 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.

How can I apply that love in my life, and how can I make it more effective? I do understand John 3:16, but I cannot make it work in my life, some people say.

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE!

John 3:16, “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.” The world is starving for love. Since “God is love,” according to 1 John 4:8, I’m convinced the world is actually starving for God! Consider love from seven different dimensions:

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love BACK I look back and see the One who died for me! 2 Cor 5:14- 15, “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” Galatians 2:20.

Love BACK Galatians 2:20. 20  I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love UP. I look up and see the greatest lover of all! Matthew 22:37, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” 1 John 4:19.

Love UP. 1 John 4:19 19  We love Him because He first loved us.

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love OUT. I look out and see my neighbor! Matthew 22:39, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 6:10.

Love OUT. Galatians 6:10 10  Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love AROUND I look around and see my own spiritual family! John 13:35, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” 1 John 3:17.

Love AROUND 1 John 3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love WITHIN I look inside and see the soul God gave me! Matthew 22:39, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 16:26.

Love WITHIN Matthew 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love FORWARD I look ahead and see the Lord that wants me! James 1:12, “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” Titus 2:14.

Love FORWARD Titus 2:14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF LOVE! Love DOWN I look at the uplifted Christ on the cross and hear what He says to me! Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Romans 5:8.

Love DOWN Romans 5:8 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16 is one of the all-time cherished & well-known scriptures in the Bible. It is frequently called the “golden text” of Scripture. Its been called “The miniature gospel”. It has been called the gospel in “a nutshell”. It has been called a love letter from God written in blood and addressed to all. If ever there was a verse that Satan would love to blot out of the Bible, it would be John 3:16. If ever there was a verse that makes hell tremble, it is John 3:16. If ever there was a verse that has light- ened the path to heaven for multitudes, it is John 3:16. Thank God for His great love!

Believe Jesus is God’s Son – John 20:30-31 Repent of your sins and turn to God – Acts 2:38 Confess your faith in Jesus – Romans 10:9-10 Be immersed into Christ – Galatians 3:27 God will forgive all of your sins – Acts 22:16 God will add you to His church – Acts 2:47 God will register you in heaven – Hebrews 12:23 Serve the Lord faithfully – 1 Corinthians 15:58
