For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. – John 3:16 (NASB)
This single scripture encapsulates the whole of Christianity: the character of our God and the basis for our faith. Ours is a God of love, sacrifice and grace. It depicts all He is and all we strive to be and it all began with love. Love created a beautiful world for us to live on and a family relationship to walk in. Love cannot stand separation, provides an escape and lives on forever. It is a love story of God and His creation, of Father and child, of the immortal and mortal. For God so loved, we must do likewise.
