John 3:16-21
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God.
Perhaps the most famous verse in Scripture reminds us of the heart of the Gospel: God so loved the world that He gave His Son. Salvation begins with divine love, not human achievement. Christ came not to condemn but to save. This message invites us to trust in God’s mercy and live in the light of His truth. Faith is a response to the love already offered to us. When we accept that love, our lives are transformed by hope and grace.
