God's Gift of Life

Scripture Reading: John 1:1-18

Focus Verse: John 1:10 “He came into the very world He created”…

On December 27th I welcomed my first grandchild into the world.  Eloise Rose Johnson was born to my son Caleb and our daughter in law Abby.  It has been such a great blessing to receive this gift of life into our family.  As you can imagine I am a proud grandfather.  We recognize that God gave the gift of life to each one of us at birth.

Over two thousand years ago, God sent His plan of eternal life into this world. We have just finished celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior at Christmas time.  The Savior, Jesus, is a gift that God is offering to each one of us.  Sadly many in the world have rejected this gift of Jesus and salvation.  I’m thankful that at the age of six years old I received the gift of salvation that God offered to me.  At that time I began a relationship with God that I have never regretted.  God is offering this gift of life to everyone.  Eternal life with God in heaven one day is a  promise from God for whoever believes in His Son Jesus, the One who died on the cross for your sins and mine.  Why not confess your sin and need of His forgiveness, repent and put your faith and trust in Him today.
 
God gave us all the gift of life when we were born and now He offers the gift of eternal life.  John 3:16-17 says, "“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him."
