(Lesson 4478)(05-07-24) John 3:16-18
“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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Today’s quote contains some of the most foundational verses of Christian doctrine. It highlights the depth of God's love and the purpose of Jesus' divine mission on earth. In verse 16, it states that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This emphasizes the idea of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Verse 17 clarifies that Jesus was not sent to condemn the world, but rather to save it through Him, underscoring the redemptive purpose of His mission. Finally, verse 18 elaborates on the consequences of belief and disbelief: those who believe in Jesus are not condemned, but those who do not believe are already condemned because they have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This passage highlights the stark contrast between salvation through faith and condemnation through disbelief, reinforcing the critical importance of faith in Christ for eternal life.
