A Gift You Don’t Have to Earn in John 3
A child receives a beautifully wrapped gift from someone who loves them. Instead of opening it, the child starts doing chores, trying to earn what was already freely given. The giver smiles and says, “You don’t have to work for this. I gave it because I love you.”
John 3 reminds us that God’s love and salvation are a gift. In John 3:16, we see that God loved the world so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, so whoever believes in Him can have eternal life. We do not receive this gift because we performed perfectly. We receive it by trusting the One who gave it. God’s love came first.
