"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
The text above is perhaps the most quoted Bible verse in the world. This over-familiarity has led to a subtle downplay of the beautiful message this verse conveys. It lets us know that God's love doesn't preclude anybody. In other words, God's love is not more predisposed to one race than the other. His love is not prejudicial; it's for the whole world.
He demonstrated his love for all of mankind by giving his son to die for the sins of the world! This shows us that Jesus' death is for everybody! It also presupposes to us that God wills that every man be saved. His desire for the unbeliever is that he or she receives the salvation which is freely given in Christ.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
"3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Having known this, that there are no ethnic or cultural barriers to the gospel; that the unbeliever's sins don't render him unfit for the gospel, we should be spurred the more to preach the gospel. We should carry the gospel on our lips in every place. We must let the unbeliever know that Jesus is for him or her. We must make every man know that Jesus has paid for the sins of the whole world. It must be our manner. It must be our culture.
Let us all go out today, declaring with a mighty voice, to every man that comes our way that Jesus is for everybody; that we all are the very ones whose sins he paid for!
AWESOME! GLORY TO GOD!
WE ARE REFINED UNTO ALL OF GOD'S GOODNESS!
