five3challenge: John 3


John 3 is one of the most famous passages in the Bible. John 3:16 in particular is often seen as the clearest Gospel presentation in the Bible.

For God so love the World that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


I think this verse definitely does show God's love for people. He loved us so much that he gave his most precious Son so that we could be restored into a relationship with him.

What I think is important here is our response. In Verse 19, John writes that
"...Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of the light because their deeds were evil."


When you put these two together you do realize that God has reached out to humans in such a costly and meaninful way, but that humans continue to reject God's love.

Consider that it is how we live that demonstrates what we truly believe about God... not just what we say...

If I really believe something won't it change the way I interact with the world?
