The effect of man’s lifestyle can be seen throughout history. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). The actions of our ancestors have made our day what it is and because of what we each do today, tomorrow will be the result.

“God is love,” 1 John 4:8. Also, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,” (John 3:16). He gave the most precious gift He had, his son. Love has an element of sacrifice, putting the interest of others first. “It is more blessed to give than receive,” Act 20:35.
