With all the songs we sing at Christmas, have you ever thought about the song of heaven?
Zeph 3:16-17 “On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
God’s Love is Global (16a)
God’s Love is Global (16a)
“God so loved the world...”
God’s love extends to all mankind. This was a revelation for Nicodemus who saw the Jews as the special people of God.
Christ’s death is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for the sin of every person, everywhere, at all times.
He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
God’s Love is Sacrificial (16b)
God’s Love is Sacrificial (16b)
God has given His very best for you! His unique, one and only, eternal Son, Jesus Christ!
Do not think that you are unlovable! God has declared your worth as priceless through His sacrificial love.
His love cost Him. It cost the Father His Only Begotten Son. It cost the Son the glory of Heaven.
God’s Love is Purposeful (17-18)
God’s Love is Purposeful (17-18)
God sent His Son to save the world, not to condemn the world. Mankind is already condemned, our need is salvation!
Your salvation has been in the mind of God since before time began!
God predetermined to provide salvation for you! You are redeemed,
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
Paul affirms that Christ was sent at the appointed time.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
God did not make a mistake or stumble upon the idea for your salvation. It was not an afterthought! He planned it!
God’s Love Demands a Personal Response (16c, 19-21)
God’s Love Demands a Personal Response (16c, 19-21)
All those who believe shall not perish, but have eternal life.
There is a division based on man’s response to Christ. Some continue in darkness, some come to the light. Some love their sin, some love the Savior.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
