For God So Loved the World

This Christmas Eve message invites us to explore a profound question: Is God good? Rather than focusing solely on historical facts, we're encouraged to examine the goodness of God through His actions and impact on people's lives. The central scripture, John 3:16, is reframed to emphasize trust rather than mere belief. We're challenged to understand faith not as belief without evidence, but as deep, life-changing trust in God. This perspective opens up a new understanding of our relationship with God, reminding us that He is a God who saves lives, defends the vulnerable, and offers hope in the darkest circumstances. The message urges us to reflect on our own trust in God, especially during difficult times. It reminds us that the true spirit of Christmas lies in recognizing and embracing God's love, manifested through the gift of His Son. As we celebrate, let's consider: Do we truly trust the God who became human to save us?
