John 3:17-19

God loves the world that He created. God loves the people that He created to abide in it. Look around at the beauty and majesty that surrounds us…in it we see the hand of God. At the center of the Cross of Jesus Christ…God’s heaven gives salvation to His earth.

At His first coming, Jesus came so that the world through Him might be saved. When Jesus comes again, He will come in judgment upon those who refused His offer of salvation.

John 3:17-19

⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.¹⁸ “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 

²¹ And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

Matthew 1:21

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village. 

Luke 9:56

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 

1 John 4:14

⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” 

John 6:40

⁹ That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. ¹¹ He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 

John 1:9–11
