“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
Over the weekend, Joe Coffey told a story from the book of Mark about a man with leprosy. The man came to Jesus and at his feet he begged, “If you are willing you can make me clean.” Pastor Coffey began to explain what the two imperative parts of being a savior are. They included that the savior must first be willing and secondly must posses the power within to actually save. If either ingredient is missing, the savior seizes to exist.
John 3:16 is a common verse, but it talks about the power of beliefs and the power of a true savior. If you already believe Jesus is your savior, than let us never forget what Jesus did for us and the joy that is found in being forgiven. If you are asking the question, why do I need a savior? Then I encourage you to check out the link below. Jesus is willing. Jesus is enough.
