For God so loved you, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
- John 3:16
Did you know that when it snows, there are no two snowflakes alike?
Just like each snowfall contains beautiful intricacy, God’s love for us is unique.
He loves us so much that He actually gave His only Son as payment for our sin.
Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can have eternal life. When we put our trust in Him, and ask Him to forgive our sins, He is faithful.
Can you imagine taking the place of someone who is on death row?
But that is exactly what Jesus did for us.
He took our place when we deserved death.
He took our place when He had never sinned.
God’s gift of eternal life is as unique as a snowflake. There is no other like it.
Once we ask Jesus to forgive us we are no longer condemned to death. God views us through the blood of His son, pure and forgiven--white as snow.
What kind of love is that? Love, indescribable, overwhelming, redeeming--love all encompassing.
With Love,
