Verse of the Day: 1 John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.3.16.KJV

Looking at this verse, “and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren”. This stands out to me. The question is this: Will we lay down our lives for the brethren?

Some people have been martyred because of Jesus and their faith in God. They sacrificed their lives because of what they believed , and who they believed in. It has been going on since Stephen was martyred in the Bible. It is still going on today. Who would have ever thought that something like that would still be going on today in this world?

I know that there are people who cannot stand to hear the name of Jesus. It is a shame that they refuse real love, the love of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for all of us; every human being on this earth, from generation to generation.

It does not matter who a person is, or where they are from, or what they believe in, Jesus died for us all. Will you turn to Jesus? Will you go to God so He can save your soul? We only get one life on this earth, but our soul will reside in heaven or hell after the judgement. Where do you want to spend eternity? Only you can make that choice.
