NO GREATER LOVE

 "Greater love hath no man than this,

 that a man lay down his life 

for his friends." 

 (John 15: 13)

  Perhaps we can agree that many, many people have the opinion that God is no more than a bad dude, sitting in heaven, with  no more to do with His time than to thump people on their heads and send them down to the pit.
  If that had been the agenda of God, however, He would have never sent His Son to die for the sins of the world.
  But we can also agree that not one man of the earth has ever laid down his life for a religion or philosophy, and neither has any sinful man of the earth ever laid down his life for the sins of people.
  For the leaders of philosophers and religions never lay down their lives for people because their only desire is for people to believe in them while they remain living.
  To be honest, it is impossible for people to believe in God until they believe in the word of God, which is the Holy Bible.
   The Bibles says,

   "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."  (Luke 16: 31)

   "But these things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through his name."  (John 20: 31)
 
   "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."  (Romans 15: 4)

   Even Jesus said,
      "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."  (Matthew 4: 4)

   "So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  (Romans 10: 17)

   In conclusion, Jesus said,

   "I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.."  (Luke 15: 10)
