John 3:16Sample

The Heart of God

How about that, then? There is something after John 3:16. Just like we run the risk of forgetting what leads up to it, The Most Famous Bible Verse is not the final word in God’s Word.

Helpfully, Jesus continued detailing for religious leader Nicodemus about what is recorded in John 3:16. Our New Testament experts Cass Kwakye and Tom Habib provided a memorable summary of this on the John 3:16 Podcast. They described how the Heart of God is in view. The Heart of God!

Jesus is revealing God’s agenda for Salvation, the pathway to leaving the darkness of sin and embracing the Light of living by the Truth. You might want to take a moment right now to soak in the magnificence of that.

Condemnation is strongly and clearly warned of by Jesus. But as Cass pointed out, "this passage makes clear that the motivation for sending Jesus is Love. And the Divine Verdict He wishes to give is God is for us, and He wishes to bring Light to darkness."
