Read about It
Read: 1 John 4:16
God sending His one and only Son, Jesus, is the greatest example of love. God loves you so much that He didn’t want to be separated from you because of sin. Because of what Jesus did on the Cross, we can experience God’s love for us.
We experience God’s love every day of our life, and it is important for us to share that love with others. Have you ever thrown a rock into water? When you do, the water ripples out and the ripples keep going. When you choose to show someone love, it can create a ripple effect: As that person experiences love, they sometimes reach out to another person, and so on. Every day we can impact the world by allowing the Holy Spirit to help us show God’s love to others.
