The     NUMBERS     OF      HOPE     3:16  (John 3:16)


 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)


In the Bible, the number "3" stands for Divine perfection.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
(Colossians 2:2, 6, 9; John 16:13)

The number "1": 
"Hear, O Israel:  'The Lord God, the Lord is one!' "
(Deuteronomy 6:4)


The number "6":
"6" is the number of man; (man was created on the 6th day
of creation. (see Genesis 1:3-31)

Everyone of us is incomplete - until we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord!!!

Man (6), plus God (1) = 7. In God's Word (the Bible), "7" is the number for perfect, complete:

"And on the seventh day God ended His work (creation) which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 

"Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." (Genesis 2:2-3)


Holy God, our Father, Creator of the universe, "The High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose  name is Holy" (Isaiah 57:15);  He Who is Almighty (Gen. 17:1-2), and Righteous (Psalm 4:1) ........yet He loves each and every one of us with His infinite  AND  intimate  love!!!

He "...chose (you and me) in Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world..." (Ephesians 1:4)........knowing the times that we would sin against Him, and break His heart;...knowing that He would have to allow His Son Jesus Christ to be "broken" and crucified on the cross for our sins........

But also knowing all the moments when we would be obedient to Him---and that He would receive glory and joy - because of what He is doing in us and through us!!!!  [LORD!  May those times that we are obedient to You always be on the increase!!!]  God says to us:  "I love you, My child."


With His most tender lovingkindness, He "put us together in our mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13-15)........He "...wrote down our every day before we were born" (Psalm 139:16................

In His holy love He prepared, and directed to my eyes, the light beams that came from the sun,  to reflect off the rose-red branches that I stood by Monday morning...in order to remind me (and now remind you)  how intimate and how powerful His love is. 

[The tree branches were "rose-red":  RED - because of Jesus Christ's blood that He shed on the cross as He was giving His life FOR our sins.      ROSE - because Jesus  "A-rose" from the grave to give His life TO us!!!!!!! (Luke 23:33 - 24:6)]

With His same all-knowing yet perfectly-intimate love........He grew the trees...that became the two wooden beams that made up the cross...on which He was crucified for you and for me!


With His same eternal love, He "through men" wrote every single letter of His Word the Bible---His love letter to each of us - spelling out:  "I know the plans I have for you...plans for good...to give you a future and a hope.." (Jeremiah 29:11)........"In this love letter are both My guidance and My enablement for how to follow me day-by-day and moment-by-moment........

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life...you will live with Me in My house forever" (Psalm 23:1-6)........I am "the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8)........I am "with you always" (Matt. 28:20)

I     AM      YOUR     HOPE.     (I Timothy 1:1)

Your "Abba (Daddy) Father"    
(Romans 8:15)
