Sunday Scripture Quotes KJV
“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.” – John 3:16 KJV. This is one of my favorite scriptures because it reminds us of how much God loves us. He was willing to sacrifice His own Son for our salvation. What a incredible demonstration of love! If you are feeling down or discouraged today, remember that you are loved by the Creator of the universe. There is nothing that can separate you from His love ( Romans 8:38-39). So take heart and know that you are never alone!
