Eternal Life – 1 John 4:9

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.

– 1 John 4:9 (NLT)

God sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to us to show us the extent of His love. For what reason did God send Jesus to us? To provide healing to our world, to turn us from wickedness to holiness, and to deliver us from sin.  God’s love is a gift given to everyone, a manifestation of His divine character.

Jesus was sent to tell us the good news of God. Those who believe in Him are forgiven and reconciled with God.  Jesus died for our sins; His death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Jesus came and died to give us life and have it abundantly, eternal life.

Jesus says in John 10:10.

The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I’ve come that they may have life, and have it abundantly. – John 10:10 (ISV)

God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life through Him.

11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

-1 John 4:11 (NIV)

God loves us; in appreciation, we should love and obey Him and reflect His love to others.

⁂

God, we thank You for Your incredible love in sending Your only Son to save us from sin. Lead us in Your truth and light. Teach us to follow Jesus and to love others as You have loved us. Like the flowers of the hydrangea are gathered together and glow in the light, let us gather together in love and glow with Your light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

  2. Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder of the depth of God’s love. The sending of Jesus Christ shows us that God’s love is not merely something spoken about; it is love demonstrated through sacrifice, mercy, forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.

    1 John 4 also reminds us that receiving God’s love should change the way we live. Because He has loved us so greatly, we are called to reflect that same love in our relationships with others. Loving one another becomes part of our witness, showing something of God’s character to the world around us.

    May we never become so familiar with the message of Christ that we lose our sense of wonder at what God has done for us. May His love draw us closer to Him, shape the way we treat others, and cause His light to be seen more clearly through our lives.
