“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.” John 3:16-17

John 3:16 is the first scripture that I ever heard while sitting on my father’s lap. He read this scripture to me many nights. I remember it like it was yesterday.

God gave his son for you and me, so we would not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus did not come to condemn us or tell us how bad we are. Jesus came to save us! We should not perish but have everlasting life!
