"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 3:15-18
One of the most often quoted scriptures , John 3:16, we can often see banners at sports events,etc., reading John 3:16, it's almost a cliché, "For God so loved the world..."
But what an amazing thing our Abba performed for us! Repeat that scripture again, and contemplate this ultimate act of love- God sending His only Son to die a horrible death in our place, while we were yet sinners even, so that we can have eternal life in Heaven! the promise comes with a warning though, that whoever does not believe stands condemned.
I find it incomprehensible that anyone would pass on the greatest gift ever offered humanity, and Jesus tells us that wide is the road that leads to destruction and many are on it!
