John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology
OP^
Amen!!

As a small child, this was the first verse of Scripture, I heard, repeated, memorized, remembered.

John 3:
[16] 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.

Glory to God,
Taken
Countless ppl have been blessed by taking this verse to heart! :)

Do you believe that every waking day is a gift of God that He gives each person?

I love this verse! For me, this verse settles the controversy over “which day”, shall we Worship the Lord our God.
(Saturday or Sunday)??
My perspective is Worship Him, Give Thanks unto Him, Be at Rest IN Him...
Everyday.

Glory to God,
Taken

As posted on the other thread, the One Who was given (John 3.16) was not a created being; He is God Incarnate.

When He came into the world at Bethlehem, He was God already.

Hi @Houstonparzival FYI....thread I started; John 3.16 and its context in the chapter are a really great study, for reading over and over. They have served as many an introduction to Christianity.

(You mentioned a book you don't quite remember the title of, on the other thread.)
