Thinking on John 3:16 đź’
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
 — John 3:16 NIV
Who is performing the action here, the main character?
God.
What is His motive?
Love.
How much love are we talking about?
So Loved . . .
- To a great degree : very or extremely
- Without any doubt
What/who is the object of this love?
The world [i.e., Every human being].
Okay, what did He do?
He GAVE. Not sold, not loaned, not withheld, GAVE.
Gave what/who?
An angel? Rules? . . . He gave His one and only Son [i.e., Jesus]. One & only [i.e., there is none like him (Jesus), he is unique & has a unique relationship with God].
To accomplish what exactly?
. . . whoever believes in him (Jesus) shall not perish but have eternal life. That is the reason He gave - that we may have eternal life. Simply believing in Jesus gives you eternal life [this means to have a relationship with God (see John 17:3)]. This also implies there are two options life eternal or death. Your action is simply to believe or not.
Okayyy, I want life, is this available to me?
Yes! Notice it said - WHOEVER believes in him (Jesus) . . . WHOEVER means any person at all.
