For God So Loved The World
God Loves The World!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. – John 3:16-17
The ultimate gospel message
In this beautiful message from John 3, we learn of God's motive for sending His Son into the world. Not for condemnation, but for our salvation. Not for death, but life. Eternal life.
The key to eternal life is believing in the Son, sent by the Father. We are spiritually dead until God rescues us from the pit and brings us to Him.
Our minds are hostile to God. Sin rules our hearts. But through God's love for the world, shown in Christ Jesus, we are delivered from sin, shame, and death into eternal life.
Through the gospel—the good news—we learn of God’s deep love for us and the assurance of salvation for those who believe.
