A Little Foolishness

 A little foolishness 

The apostle John writes,

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." 1John 4:10.

In John’s Gospel we read,

"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.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.

God loves all mankind. He loves us so much that he gave us a freewill to do as we please. That includes not believing in God.

That being said He loved us so much He sent Christ Jesus. His One and Only Son to die for our sins. To die for the sins of all who believe in Him.

I know for many this seems foolish. Even the apostle Paul said,

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1Corinthians 1:18.

Blaise Pascal wrote,

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

Thus the question becomes where will you place your bet?

Think about it.
