John 3:16

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but gain eternal life

John 3:16 - God loved the people of the world so much, that He gave His Son, His one and only Son, who was God come to earth in the form of Jesus, so that no one needs to be destroyed in hell - but - by believing in Jesus as Lord and Saviour of their lives, they can have everlasting life in paradise in the presence of a loving God.

John 3:16 - God has provided a way of rescuing you from hell. This option is open to anyone and everyone. All you have to do is place your faith in Jesus who is God. He loves you so much that He allowed Himself to be tortured to death in order to rescue you from hell. By dying for you, Jesus paid the price of your sin so that you don't have to pay it yourself. If you place your faith in Jesus, admitting that you are a sinner in need of His forgiveness, God will rescue you and bring you safely home to live with Him for eternity in paradise. However, if you go to hell, it will be because you were determined to get there by climbing over the dead body of Jesus.

I LOVE THIS! Sometimes this verse gets used so much, we have lost the depth to its meaning.

"However, if you go to hell, it will be because you were determined to get there by climbing over the dead body of Jesus."--ouch and so powerful...
