God’s Love Is Displayed On The Cross
 
Lifted - is used of the cross
Lifted - is also a term for exaltation
 
And the LORD said
to Moses, "Make a
fiery serpent and set
it on a pole, and
everyone who is
bitten, when he sees
it, shall live." -
Numbers 21:8
 
Anyone who does not love does not know God,
because God is love. In this the love of God was
made manifest among us, that God sent his only
Son into the world, so that we might live through
him. - 1 John 4:8-9
 
2nd Head of Doctrine: Article 3 - The death of the
Son of God is the only and most perfect sacrifice
and satisfaction for sin, and is of infinite worth and
value, abundantly sufficient to expiate the sins of
the whole world.
 
God Love’s His Enemies
 
What does the word “world” mean?
“World has more to do with ‘badness’ than it does
with ‘bigness’ - D.A Carson
V19-20 God loves the world but the world hates
God
 
John 14:17
John 17:23-26
John 15:18-19
 
 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless those who
curse you, pray for those who abuse you. - Luke
6:27-28
 
We never pray against our government or call down
curses on them. Instead, we have learned that God
is in control both of our own lives and the
government we live under. God has used China's
government for His own purposes, molding and
shaping His children as He sees fit. Instead of
focusing our prayers against any political system, we
pray that regardless of what happens to us, we will
be pleasing to God.” -Brother Yun
 
God’s Love Has No Barriers
 
V15, 16, 18 Whosoever Believes x3
God’s purpose is not to condemn
V19 People loved the darkness
V20 The world hates the light
 
Article 6 - And whereas many who are called by
the gospel do not repent nor believe in Christ, but
perish in unbelief, this is not owing to any defect or
insufficiency in the sacrifice offered by Christ upon
the cross, but is wholly to be imputed to
themselves
 
Written on the outside of the gate of heaven are the
words, “Whosoever will may come.” And on the other
side of that gate, which you can read from the inside,
is written: “Chosen before the foundation of the
world.” -DL Moody
 
God’s Regenerating Love Produces Belief
 
True
Comes To The Light
Demonstrates - Gives Evidence
3:8 The evidence of the Holy Spirit
 
John 10:11
John 10:14
John 10:25-28
 
But there is another (greater) love of God. It goes
beyond offering eternal life and actually creates it in
your heart. If you only know the love of John 3:16,
there is more love for you to know and enjoy and
admire and be amazed at and be thankful for and be
strengthened by. -John Piper
 
Article 7 - But as many as truly believe, and are
delivered and saved from sin and destruction
through the death of Christ, are indebted for this
benefit solely to the grace of God, given them in
Christ from everlasting, and not to any merit of
their own.
 
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great
love with which he loved us, even when we were
dead in our trespasses, made us alive together
with Christ-by grace you have been saved- -
Ephesians 2:4-5
 
Now before the Feast of the Passover, when
Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out
of this world to the Father, having loved his own
who were in the world, he loved them to the end. -
John 13:1
 
Article 5 - Moreover, the promise of the gospel is,
that whosoever believeth in Christ crucified, shall
not perish, but have everlasting life. This promise,
together with the command to repent and believe,
ought to be declared and published to all nations,
and to all persons promiscuously and without
distinction, to whom God out of His good pleasure
sends the gospel
 
Challenge

Don’t Argue, Bully, or Beat People Over The Head
Only God’s Work Changes Hearts
