What's the Good News?--"God is Love!" (Joh.4:8)

	All you need is order to share God's Love with others is a simple
faith in a simple Salvation & a simple Gospel for simple people to
simply believe & receive & be saved.-- The Good News of the Love of God
summed up so simply in that beautiful verse: "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." (Joh.3:16)
	If you can help them to understand each part of that verse, that's
all you really need! "For God so loved the world"--Who is God?--He's
the Spirit of Love! Are they part of the world? Put their name in there.
"For God so loved you...that He gave His only begotten Son".--Who's
that?--Jesus! "That whosoever believeth in Him"--Do they believe in
Jesus? Then they "shall not perish", won't go to Hell, "but have
everlasting life."
	John 3:16 is all you really need in order to tell people that God
loves them! That's all you need to preach the Gospel! That's all the
education you need to go & win the lost. That's all the preparation
you need to be a missionary! Simply go out where the lost are to be
found & give then His Love & His good News of Salvation in Jesus!
