GLORIOUS SABBATH DAY PEOPLE OF GOD
Probably one of the most quoted; yet, most contextually misrepresented scriptures in the Bible is John 3:16. Most people recognize it based on, what I call its' "verse address" alone, and quote it verbatim.
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)
Most people, including many ministers, as I have also made the mistake in doing, stops short with "whosoever;" but the correct context, through which complete and accurate understanding is rendered is "whosoever believeth in Him." But simply believing that God exists is not enough. As James 2:19 explains, even the demons believe in God’s existence. If just acknowledging God's existence were enough, there would a place reserved for the devil at God's lefthand side. To truly believe in God must include the renewing of the mind, and our commitment to Him through a change in the way we live.

GOD LOVES YOU
His heartbreak is that man, in refusing to listen to Him, does not love Him in return.
