This is an edited re-post from three years ago.
WHAT KIND OF LOVE IS THIS?
Hearts are everywhere! Love is in the air! ‘Tis the season for love!
February 14th is called, “Valentine’s Day.” For lots of folks, it’s a time to express love for your special someone. Flowers, candy, balloons, jewelry – ahh, love is in the air.
Estimated money spent in the U.S. last year for this holiday was around 23.9 billion dollars! That’s not a typo – 23.9 billion dollars! But wait! Last year 1.1 billion was spent on pets! Yes, pets.
You can read lots of articles online about the history and origins of “Valentine’s Day.” Instead of putting some of that in this post, I’d rather make a point about the greatest love of all.
The Bible tells us God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
The motivation for God sending a savior, His Son, Jesus Christ, was love! God so loved the world – people, all people! God’s desire for all people is that they do not perish (be completely obliterated and gone forever), but instead, have everlasting life!
His desire and love was so big, He paid a whole lot more than the billions spent every year for Valentine’s Day. No comparison! He gave His Son to pay the price for the sins of the whole world. And each person can now choose to either believe it or not.
Why Not Believe It!
The verse I mentioned above is from John 3:16. Below is a compilation of all 5 videos I did many years ago on John 3:16.
The greatest love from the greatest lover!
