SUNDAY GATHERING—Jesus offers love & life
What love and life look like… John 3:16-21
The POINT: God expressed his love by sending his only Son to save the world. Those who trust the Son live a pure forever life. Those who do not trust the Son live a pure forever death.
Read John 3:16-21
What is pure forever life?
What is pure forever death?
TEAMWORK
Case Study: Real Pure Forever Life
You are talking with some Christian friends when one friend says,
“God loves me no matter what I do, so I might as well live like the devil.”
The other friend says,
“I work hard to keep myself holy so that God will still love me.”
How do you respond?
Take another look at The POINT.
Think about it: If we who trust the Son are really living a pure forever life, why do we keep messing around with the stuff that belongs to pure forever death?
