John 3:17

 

 

"For God did not send His only begotten Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

John 3: 17 (NKJ)

    Just about every Christian has John 3:16 memorized--it's the embodiment of the gospel message. However, maybe not as many people know the verse after it by heart.  But John 3:17 is also very vital to remember as a Christian. It's a fantastic proof for remembering God's character and for showing it to the person who thinks God is nitpicking at people's sins. The verse clearly verifies that God doesn't look for reasons to punish us or to condemn us whenever we slip up, but that He lovingly and graciously sought out salvation for all mankind.
    God is good, and this verse is awesome. Agreed? :)
