“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.”
What glorious words are these! Seven great facts are here. “God loved” — the most blessed Friend with the largest heart. “The world” — the greatest number of sinners, and enemies too. “Gave His Son” the best of all gifts. “Whosoever” the widest invitation. “Believeth on Him” — the easiest and the only way to be saved. “Should not perish” — the greatest deliverance. “Have everlasting life” — the priceless and richest possession.
How many of you have believed the message of love, received the gift and thanked God for the life? I know many boys and girls who have. They love John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) because it was the verse that led them to the Saviour.
