For God So Loved The World



None is righteous, no, not one;
 no one understands;
no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; 
together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
 "Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
 in their paths are ruin and misery,
 and the way of peace they have not known.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 
Romans 3:10-18

How can those such as these, indeed us all, be made right with God?

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:21-26

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-29

The blood of Jesus cleanses us from ALL sin. 1 John 1:7

Therefore, friend, turn from your sin and believe upon this Christ! He has done it all! Take up your cross and follow him!

For God So loved the World that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
John 3:16

And this is eternal life; that they might know You (God the Father), and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
John 17:3
