The Father Loves by GIVING

The Father loved us by giving His Son for us

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

..... God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

(John 3:16, Romans 5:8)

And, He loved us by giving us to His Son

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

(John 6:37, 39, John 10:28, John 17:6, 9, 24)
