“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 KJV)
There
are so called children’s songs that made an impact in millions of lives. And
there are also so called common Scriptural verses that children have learned
from Sunday school, Vacation Bible School or at church that touched and shaped
millions of lives. The songs like; “Jesus Loves the Little Children” “Jesus
Loves Me” “My Beloved is Mine, and I Am His…” And the verses like John 3:16; I
John 4:7 and 8 or John 14:6 are some of the examples.
There’s
no greater love but the love of God. It’s a kind of love that is beyond our
imagination, and we cannot comprehend such love. We cannot picture or paint
God’s love in a canvas. Words cannot express God’s love for sinful men like us.
In the Bible, Paul was talking about our relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ, and he exposed the gift of eternal life that cannot be over shadowed
and broken up by anybody or anything, at anytime and anywhere or by any
circumstances in life. (I
Corinthians 1:8- 9)
You
have heard His voice when you responded to His call for you to come to Him and
follow Him for your salvation. And it does not matter if it was by kid’s song
or from a common Scriptural verses; what’s important is your response in
humility with faith and repentance. In (Romans 5:5 “…the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” The reason why
we have comfort, peace, joy and we have the grace to live a holy life is
because of the love of God… We have learned to love, to do things for God and
serve Him. And we learned to persevere in our sufferings and trials with the
love of God that is shed abroad in our hearts which is the focal point of
Christianity.
The
Bible says; “Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy
mercy: 8- The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of
great mercy. 1- Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
mercy, we faint not;” (Psalm 109:26; 145:8; II Corinthians
4:1 KJV)
