Do you ever get the feeling that there is something out there that can “get you?” Sometimes people fear accidents, disease, dangerous people, or financial and physical disasters. It seems like these might just sneak up on you and get you.  A comforting thought about this from the Bible says, “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.”

Begotten is old fashioned language referring to conception and birth. But it literally  means, “to get or obtain by effort.”
