The Lord’s Day (09/13/26)
Title: The Magnifying Glass of God’s Love (Part 5)
Text: John 3:16
“..that whosoever believeth in Him..”
Part 1: The Source of this Love (“For God..”)
Part 2: The Strength of this Love (“..so loved..”)
Part 3: The Subject of this Love (“..the world..”)
Part 4: The Sacrifice of this Love (“..that He gave His only begotten Son..”)
Part 5: The Simplicity of this Love (“..that whosoever believeth in Him..”)
1.SIMPLICITY IN ITS SCOPE
“Whosoever”
The first word is one of the most encouraging words in the entire verse:
“Whosoever.”
If I were a sinner looking for hope, I would want to know: Does God’s invitation include me?
If you are alive in planet earth today you are a candidate for God’s love and salvation
And because God loved the world, the invitation is extended to whosoever.
Anyone can come.
“Whosoever surely meaneth me”
2.THE SIMPLICITY IN IT’S STIPULATION
“believeth”
God’s grace provides salvation.
Faith receives salvation.
It is not something we earn.
It is something we receive.
Christ has done what we could never do.
God will never force His love on you
He offers His love - the cross is proof
— But you cant have what you dont receive
3.SIMPLICITY IN ITS SPECIFICITY
“in Him”
Faith is not enough if the object of that faith is wrong.
Jesus Christ is not the best way to heaven He is the only way to heaven
Our salvation does not depend upon how impressive our faith is.
It depends upon the One in whom our faith rests.
And Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust.
Closing:
"Just As I Am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh, Lamb of God, I come..."
“Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
God’s love will prove useless to those who do not believe
Christian gospel is for the whole world
But just because God offers you His love doesnt mean you that get His love because to get His love you have go receive it - reach out your hands and take it!
