For God So Loved The World
God was also faithful even though Judah was to be captured and be sent to Babylon. But God has always been faithful and gracious to us. Isaiah chapter 1 verse 9 state, "Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom and we should have been like unto Gomorra."
The grace of the Lord for God so loved the world. As much as the world has been wicked through our time and evil, God has been faithful to to fulfill his promise and to show his un unfailing love and faithful steadfastness of his grace.
Uh let's look at Romans chap 11:5. I I I just want to highlight the importance of John chapter 3 verse 16.
Romans chapter 11. Oh Lord. Romans chapter 11:5 states, "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." Oh, this is now our our generation. Uh-huh. They stumbled. They just stumbled. This is God's holy nation. This these are the the chosen nation of God himself. I say then have they stumbled that they should fall. God forbid, but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles. I think we should be grateful here for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness
how much more. Now let's go to to the verse at hand. John chapter 3 verse 63. God God could have just finished us rain fire upon the whole world as he had done unto the the first world. Yet preserved Noah. as he had done unto Sodom and Gomorrah yet preserved Lot.
because he's faithful to fulfill his promise. Now this is the the promise from Genesis chapter 3 verse 15. Jesus stated, the son himself stated, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." It just proves the love of God, the love that God have and has for us. As much as we are wicked and evil and disobedient,
but his love kept us alive.
For God so loved the world that he gave. As much as I'm concerned, we are dead because of our sinful nature and our wickedness. But because God loved us, he sent his righteous Son, his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. I mean, who who could bear such wickedness? If you if you created the whole world and it rebelled against you, but yet you had compassion and love to preserve it, for God so loved the world as as as God preserved the righteous Lot
out of Sodom and and Gomorrah. Even this time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes on him should not perish but have eternal life. As much as the world continue in its wickedness and evilness, just as he has done to Sodom and Gomorrah, he preserved Lot even this time. Paul stated in Romans 11:5, even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Oh oh this is this is very profound. I mean we we we are dead as far as I'm concerned. We are sinful in nature. We are rebellious against the law of the Lord. But God loved us so much that instead of destroying the whole world, he gave his only begotten Son, his righteous holy Son to die for our sake. So he died for us. So we should be living for him.
But it's okay. I believe not everybody will be saved if be the the will of the Lord because Apostle Paul states even so then at this present time also there is a remnant that means not everybody will be but the remnant according to the election of grace not of works but of grace. Oh, I think we we should also be humbled
for what Israel or what God let Israel go through! Cuz chapter 11 states, I say then, have they stumbled? This is Israel stumbling. Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid, but rather through their fall salvation, it's come unto the Gentiles. for to provoke them to jealousy. Oh Lord, for to to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them, this is the fall of Israel. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness. Their stumbling was to provoke them to jealousy. Provoke them to jealousy!. This is God's chosen nation. This is the holy nation of Israel. They only stumbled for our own sake. God let them stumble for our own sake. So we we we should be humbled enough and pray that to to God that we be a part of a remnant according to the election of grace. Not by works, by grace. Nobody can claim the salvation of God because nobody knows. It's faith
that that that preserve our souls. The faith in him faith whosoever believes in him in the risen savior. God fulfilled his promise in Genesis 3:15. In John chapter 3, Genesis chapter 3:15, in John chapter 3:16, when when when God was destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot said something profound there. He didn't say that my so that my flesh could live. He said so that my soul
should live. Because God breathed in the beginning the breath of life and a man became a living soul. God was destroying Sodom and Gomorrah and Lot knew the revelation of this.
He God.. he knew, Lot knew that this' not about the matter of flesh and blood but of spirit and soul. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life.
