To say the greatest text .....
The Lord’s conversation with Nicodemus seems to end with the statement in verse 15, so from here on we seem to have John’s inspired commentary, beginning where Jesus left off and with similar words.
We have now arrived at the great gospel truth.
No other single statement in the Bible so aptly sums up God’s redemptive purpose in Christ for the human race.
Volumes have been written on it.
Its each and every word has been weighed and examined and marveled at and preached on.
Who will ever know until the judgment seat of Christ how many millions of Adam’s ruined race have found their way to heaven by the discovery of
The text itself revolves around ten words: God, loved, world, gave, Son, whosoever, believeth, perish, have, life.
Ten words-of creation
Ten Commandments
Ten words of salvation
I. God So Loved the World
We think, for instance, who it is who loves this poor lost world.
Elaborate on this verse.....
God, we read, so loved the world.
The world here includes all mankind.
God does not love men’s sins or the wicked world system, but He loves people and is not willing that any should perish.
look who God is ...
It is God, eternal, self-existing, uncreated, having need of nothing.
It is God, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.
It is God, Elohim, Jehovah, Adonai, the God who has revealed himself by so many names, who now reveals himself as incarnate love.
It is God, the one who sits, high and lifted up, worshiped by adoring angels, by cherubim and seraphim, and in whose presence they hide behind their wings and cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.”
It is God, the one who sits, high and lifted up, worshiped by adoring angels, by cherubim and seraphim, and in whose presence they hide behind their wings and cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.”
It is God, creator and sustainer of the universe, who gazes out on stellar empires, on galaxy after galaxy, on mighty burning orbs that rush through space that obey laws he has ordained.
He takes the initiative
GOD LOVES AND GIVES
It is God who takes the initiative, God who loves and gives.
, like and , begins with God.
ex 201.1
This text sets before us a glimpse of the heart of God.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son …”
PS 139.7-
This is love that is stronger than death, the love that will not let me go, the love that many waters cannot quench, the love that suffers long and is kind, the love that never fails, the love that passes knowledge.
This God the creator of the universe will never leave or forget us....
II.
He Gave His Son
He gave His son ...
His one and only son ....
This text also gives us a revelation of the mind of God, especially along two lines.
We have here the thought of God concerning his Son.
The extent of His love is shown by the fact that He gave His only begotten Son.
God has no other Son like the Lord Jesus.
It was an expression of His infinite love that He would be willing to give His unique Son for a race of rebel sinners.
In the thinking of God, all centers on his Son.
God has no plan, no program for this world or any other, no purpose in the universe or in time or eternity, that does not center in his Son.
Any thinking that is not Christ-centered is in that measure out of harmony with the mind of God.
Our plans and purposes can succeed in the long run only in proportion to whether or not they are centered in God’s Son.
1 john 5,11-12
acts
God gave his son ..... to pay the price for our sins .......
ladies and gentlemen the price has been paid.....
Think about that love.....
III.
Believe on Him
We have here, too, the thought of God concerning our salvation: “whosoever believeth in him …” Again we are brought back to Jesus.
Repeatedly, Jesus rejected the claim that His sacrificial death provided salvation for everyone—believers and unbelievers alike.
Instead, Jesus linked eternal life to personal belief (; ; )
john
john 11.2
Jesus was not saying that we need to believe in Him the same way we believe in a historical figure like Abraham Lincoln.
Many people erroneously equate belief with intellectual assent to a certain body of facts: Jesus was the Son of God who died on a cross for the sins of the world and rose from the dead on the third day.
A person can believe in all those facts and still not receive eternal life.
In fact, as you read the New Testament you will discover that some of the greatest professions about Jesus being the Messiah came from the lips of demons who immediately recognized Him as the Son of God (; ).
Satan and his minions fully believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
They believe that Jesus died for the sins of the world (which is why they tried to destroy His life prematurely before He could accomplish His mission).
And yes, they believe that He rose again from the dead.
In fact, they believe all those facts about Jesus more than we do—because they were eyewitnesses to those events!
But no one expects to see Satan and his demons in heaven because of their belief in the facts about Jesus.
So what does it mean to believe in Jesus?
Jesus equated belief with “trusting in, clinging to, resting in” His sacrificial death for salvation.
