For God so loved the world

“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.” - John 3v16

It is tempting when going through the word of God looking for nuggets or gleanings to overlook some things that are most familiar. However they are some things that we just can’t overlook. John 3v16 is probably the most familiar verse among Christians. Every verse is of equal importance, yet somehow this one seems to summarise the entire gospel.

“For God so loved he world…” What kind of love is this that allows the God of the universe to send His only Son to die on the cross for a sinner like me? Is the love that epitomises the God Who is love.

May I never get accustomed to John 3v16.
