JOHN TELLS US IN THE TEXT
THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
AND I NEED TO TELL YOU MY BROTHERS
AND SISTERS
THE GREATEST GIFT A PERSON COULD
EVER RECEIVE
IS NOT DIAMONDS
(LADIES) IT`S NOT THE A BEAUTIFUL
DRESS AND SHOES AND DON`T FORGET

DIAMOND PERFUME

PAIR OF JORDANS OR A BIG SCREEN TV
BUT THE GREATEST GIFT IS JESUS CHRIST
BECAUSE JESUS IS A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON
GIVING

GOD GAVE THIS SUPREME GIFT IN GIVING
HIMSELF IN THE GIVING OF HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTON SON AS A
SACRIFICE FOR SINNERS LIKE YOU AND
ME
HE GAVE HIS SON AS A PAYMENT OF OUR
SIN DEBT
BUT GOD SHOWED US HIS LOVE THROUGH
GIVING
AND I WAS TAUGHT AS A LITTLE BOY
WHEN SOMEBODY GIVE YOU SOMETHING
YOU OUGHT TO SAY THANK YOU
AND ONE OF THE BEST WAYS WE CAN
TELL
GOD THANK YOU
IS BY LIVING A LIFE ACCEPTABLE AND
PLEASEING IN HIS SIGHT
PREACH BROTHER PAUL TELLS US IN HIS
LETTER TO ALL BE AT ROME
5TH CHAPTER :6-8-VERSE ---For when we
were yet
without strength, in due time Christ died for the
ungodly.
[7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
yet
peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to
die.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
