 John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting LIFE." God So Loved The World. This verse reveals the heart and purpose of God - the great truth that motivated His plan of salvation for human kind. God's love is deep and wide enough to embrace all persons, "the world." (1 Timothy 2:3-4) God "gave" His Son (who also gave Himself willingly. John 10: 17-18) as an offering to pay the price of the sin (offenses and rebellion against God) of all humanity. This act was one of complete, undeserved love. God did not have to provide this sacrifice for us; it was not something forced upon Him (Romans 8:32) To believe (Greek pisteuo) includes three main elements: (a) a faith and confidence that Jesus Christ is God's Son and the only Savior for spiritually lost humanity; (b) an act of surrender that turns over to Christ the leadership of one's life and an attitude of submission that continues to obey Christ (John 1:1-10) (c) the trust and assurance that Christ is both able and willing to complete a person's salvation by bringing him or her to live with Him forever in heaven. Keep in mind that to "believe" in the true Biblical sense is not just a mental exercise; it is an active trust that surrenders the leadership of one's life to Christ. Real faith continues to show trust through selfless action, obedience and service (James 2:14-16) "Perish" is a term in verse 16 that can be easily overlooked in the context of the wonderful gift of grace God offers. It is the tragic consequence of rejecting God (not believing in Him, not surrendering our lives to His leadership, not accepting His gifts of forgiveness and eternal life). To perish does not point to physical death but to the dreadful reality of spiritual death (permanent separation from God) and eternal punishment (Matthew 10:28) "eternal life" is God's gift to those who accept Christ's sacrifice and forgiveness for sins and become "born again" spiritually. It is not something that can be earned by good works or personal effort; is a gift that be received. "Eternal" is more than simply living forever; it is a quality of existence that begins even in this life - it is the opportunity to know God now (John 17:3 ) It is a life that frees us from the power of sin and Satan and allows us to live spiritually beyond earthly things in order to develop an eternal relationship with God. (John 8:34-36) John 3:16 Prayer Thank you God for your amazing love, thank you for giving your only Son, for opening up a way of reconciliation through his death on the cross. Thank you that we can be forgiven, no more in condemnation, free to worship you wholeheartedly and to live fruitful lives that honor you. Thank you for turning my night into day, and thank you for teaching me how to pray. Thank you for your promise of eternal life to those who commit their lives to you. Lord, make me a channel of your grace through my prayers, words and deeds. In Jesus' name, Amen Bible Study Tools I Use:

Book of Micah Bible Study
$14.00
Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of MICAH! The book of MICAH is from the Old Testament. The book of Micah contains many warnings of doom and prophecies of hope. In this study on Micah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Micah. The prophet Micah was from the small town of Moresheth Gath in southern Judah, a productive agricultural area about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem. Like Amos, he came from the rural countryside, probably from a family of humble status. While the prophet Isaiah was in Jerusalem addressing the king and international affairs, Micah was a country prophet who was deeply sensitive to the social issues that affected the small towns and villages throughout Judah. I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me. Thank you, Margarita Book of Nahum Bible Study

In this study on Nahum I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Nahum.

$14.00
Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of HABAKKUK! NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. Habakkuk is a minor prophet, and this book is unique from the other prophets in that instead of the prophet speaking God's Word to the people, it records Habakkuk's personal dialogue with God. When I read this book, about a week ago, I felt that I needed to share HABAKKUK with you. Let's be honest with each other we have all questioned God and perhaps His existence in our life. There is so much evil and injustice that exists in the world, Does God Care? Learn how the storms of life can become opportunities to activate your faith in Habakkuk. I invite you to go through this bible study with me. Thank You, Margaret Book of Zephaniah Bible Study

Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of ZEPHANIAH! The book of ZEPHANIAH is from the Old Testament. It only has 3 chapters. The book of Zephaniah contains Destruction and Salvation / The Day of the LORD In this study on Zephaniah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Zephaniah. Zephaniah, whose name means "the LORD hides," was a great-great-grandson of King Hezekiah of Judah and prophesied during the reign of Josiah (639-609B.C.), Judah's last godly ruler (Zephaniah 1:1). Zephaniah's reference to Jerusalem as "this place" (Zephaniah 1:4), as well as his detailed description of Jerusalem's landscape and its sins, supports the belief by scholars that he lived in this city. Join the study to learn so much more. I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me. Thank you, Margarita Book of Haggai Bible Study
$14.00
Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series on the book of Haggai! NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. THEME / PURPOSE: Rebuilding the Temple: Obedience to God Brings the Strength of His Spirit. Haggai is the first of three prophetic books in the Old Testament (Haggai, Zachariah and Malachi) written after many of God’s people had returned from exile throughout what was, at that time, the Persian Empire (based on narratives in Ezra and Nehemiah the initial return of exiles to Jerusalem)... A book containing a message of trust, commitment, and work. It involves a practice of: that should be done on a day to day basis to fix God in the very center of our life in order to maintain that place of peace and rest. A place that many of us venture out into the world to find, not realizing the work of the temple begins with us, inside. I invite you to go through this bible study with us.
