John 3:16

For God so Loved the world,

that he gave His Only begotten Son,

that whosoever belie Veth in Him, should not perish,

but have ev   Erlasting life.

My father was a man who kept notes for many years on the verses that gospel preachers started their sermons with. Near the end of his life he told me that more preachers start with John 3:16 than any other Scripture. Is it any wonder? This verse tells us of seven wonderful facts:

The love of God.

Who He loves (the world).

The gift of His Son.

The scope of the blessing (whosoever).

The way of blessing (believe).

Escape from judgment.

The gift He is offering as a result (eternal life).

Someone has said, “John 3:16 is the gospel message in a nutshell.” What a verse! Is it a reality with you?
