約翰福音 3:14-18
14 摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇,人子也必照樣被舉起來,15 叫一切信他的都得永生(註:或作“叫一切信的人在他裡面得永生”)。16 神愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不至滅亡,反得永生。17 因為 神差他的兒子降世,不是要定世人的罪(註:或作“審判世人 ”。下同),乃是要叫世人因他得救。18 信他的人,不被定罪;不信的人,罪已經定了,因為他不信 神獨生子的名。
John
3:14-18
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believes in him should not
perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believes on
him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he
has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:16 is probably the best known verse in the bible. But being familiar
with the words doesn’t mean that we fully comprehend the full meaning of the
words. Often times, the truth can be overlooked.
Please read the verse again: “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.” These 26 words bring hope to you and me who used to be
condemned! It begins with God and ends with life. If you know nothing about the
bible, start here; if you know everything about the bible, return here.
God loves you! God loves you enough to give his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. What
would it mean for you if you believed this enough to live like the one who is
loved by God?
For me, the answer is to give praise and thanks to Him.
How about you?
How about you?
