LOGOS TRADING POST - JOHN 3:16 CHRISTIAN CHALLENGE COINS

God’s Love - The Founding Motive for Christianity

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” This is the essence of the gospel and of God’s boundless love, and we are happy to celebrate it with these specially curated Christian challenge coins. Though Logos Trading Post is far more than just a challenge coin company, what kind of Christian challenge coin company would we be without coins that capture the fullness of God’s love for us, bearing upon them the famous words from this verse renowned throughout all of Christianity?

Our religious challenge coins are designed as something for you to hold and display as a reminder of who you are as a follower of Christ and a reminder that you can be proud of that! However, it is important that we all remember that the title of “Christian” is not an earned one, but a given one as a result of God’s infinite love for us. After all, doesn’t John the apostle write in 1 John 3:1-3, “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”

Wow, not only has God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice given us the opportunity to be one of His disciples, but we can actually become a part of His family, becoming a child of God just as Jesus Christ was the pure, first Son of God.

Reconciliation, the Family of God, and Ambassadorship

All that said, it is our hope that when you browse our Christian challenge coins, especially the challenge coins for sale in this collection centered around John 3:16, you may see each coin as a badge of honor, signifying the family and kingdom that you get to be a part of thanks to God’s love for the world. As Paul the apostle writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Indeed, the sacrifice on the cross was His expression of love, while His love for us and creation was the motive behind it. Still, let us remember, thanks to His love and His giving of His son, God has made us Christians and His children, but He has also made us so much more than that. Peter writes in 1 Peter 2:9 that we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession.” 1 Corinthians 3:16 says that we are “God’s temple”. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5:14 that we are “The light of the world.” Challenge coins are designed to be identifiers that show others that their possessors are of a select group or rank, and our Christian challenge coins are much the same, identifying us as all of the above and more thanks to God’s great love and grace for us.

However, all of these titles for those who believe in God have a greater purpose. We can take joy in who God has made us to be, but let us not forget that He has set us apart to accomplish things in His Kingdom. Let’s look back at our reference from 2 Corinthians 5, specifically verses 18-19, which say, “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” God has done His part, reconciling us to Himself, making us children of God among other things, but it is our turn to do our part next! God did what we could not, giving His son out of love for us, but now we get to tell the world of what He has done so that they can believe in Him.

Therefore, our distinction as Christians is not a mere badge. Instead, it should be a light for others; others should be able to look at who we have become in Christ and realize that there is something that sets us apart - that something being His Spirit and His righteousness, bought for us through His struggle upon the cross.
