John 316 and for many of us who are Jesus followers and Jesus worshipers this

verse really sums up all that God has done for us. I have it memorized. I've said this every service. I don't mean to

brag, but it's obviously the reason I'm the pastor. But John 316 says, for God so loved, I love that word so, God didn't just love, he so love the world, that he gave his only son that whoever, whoever, I'm going to we're building a community on whoever

whoever whoever you're welcome here whoever whenever whenever wherever simply

believes in Jesus, receives Jesus once and for all sacrifice.

You will not perish.

God does not want you to perish but have eternal life.

That is what we are celebrating today that we are absolutely persuaded.

It is our gift from Jesus. We will have eternal life.

Though this life is a vapor, though this life is like dust here today, gone tomorrow.

It is fleeting, we believe that at the end of this life

begins eternal life that only comes in Jesus.

Now, this verse, John 31616 is so paramount and so foundational to our

faith. What we've been endeavoring to do is go to other chapter 3 in verse

16 passages in the Bible to help us further understand not only John

3 16 but the implications of what Jesus has done and I am so excited to share with

you probably the other most famous 316 and it's 1st John 316.

1st John 316.

So go there with me.
