Experience of Salvation

John 3:16 (KJV)

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.

How do we know that Jehovah loves us? The answer is very plain, he gave his only begotten Son Jesus to be a ransom sacrifice for the world. This love could not be expressed by giving another co equal God to die for us but rather his literal Son. Only begotten meaning only born (sole child) and coming out from. Jesus came out from the Father in the ages of eternity before the world was created. So Jehovah gave his only Son who came out from his substance. Us being human, we dearly love our children and it would pain us beyond measure to sacrifice them for anyone. Imagine God, who is love, having to sacrifices his actual Son for us and how heart wrenching this must have been for him. With this realization, we then can begin to understand our Father's love for us.

 Romans 10:17 (KJV)

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

It is the word of God (bread of life) that is the conduit in which faith comes. While many professing Christians put more trust in the wisdom of this age, true faith comes by hearing God's infallible word. Man's vain philosophies are a cheap imitation of the wisdom of Jehovah God.

 Galatians 3:26 (KJV)

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

It is faith in the Son of God that makes us children of God. We cannot be children of God unless we have faith in his Christ (anointed one). There is only one way to the Father and that is by his only begotten Son Jesus.
