This is a Bible verse that is probably the most popular and well-known verse in the Bible:

 

John 3:16 - "For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

 

Here is the Bible Commentary on that verse: "Many people are repulsed by thinking about living forever because their lives are miserable. But eternal life is not the extension of man's miserable, mortal life; eternal life is God's life, embodied in Christ, given to all believers now, as a guarantee that they will live forever. In this (new) life there is no death, sickness, enemies, evil, and sin. When we don't know Christ, we make choices as though this life were all we have. In reality, this life is just the introduction to eternity. Begin, then, to evaluate all that happens from an eternal perspective."

 

My thoughts: Most of us have experienced people, places, and things which we would change if we could. But that is not the whole story..............we have a future coming.........and it is unbelievably wonderful! We have a future and a hope........and that future begins.............today!!
