Sunday Prepper Bible Study- John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16
Sunday Prepper Bible Study- John 3:16
This verse is a pretty good definition of God’s mission statement. It gives us a very clear and concise reason for God sending Jesus to Earth. He was sent to pay the penalty of death that we deserved because of our sin. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That means no one lives a good enough life to get to heaven. The only way we can get to heaven to live for eternity is through the sacrifice of Christ.
As Christians, it is easy to forget this. Our expectations of God get a little off mission. We would have liked to add a little more on to that verse. for example, wouldn’t it have been nice if today’s verse said “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life and will never have car trouble and will always have a great job and will never get sick and will never be falsely accused of anything and will never make a bad stock pick .” From our perspective, that would have been great. From God’s perspective, not so much. Those trials are often what pushes us into a closer relationship[p to God. It is also the fire that removes the dross from the silver. When the trials come, remember that you still get Heaven when this world is past. That is so much more than we deserve.
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed week and happy prepping!
