For God So Loved

16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. — John 3:16-17 | God's Word Translation (GWT) The Holy Bible, God’s Word® Translation Copyright 1995 by God’s Word to the Nations Mission.

Thoughts on Today's Verses… God is not the big Scrooge in the sky, critically looking down on his flawed children waiting to condemn those who mess up. Instead, he saw how broken, flawed, and messed up we were and entered our world to save it… to save us. God's purpose in sending Jesus is our life and our salvation.

The Thoughts on Today's Verses are written by Phil Ware.

"I'm Not Good Enough" is Only One of the Lies

“I’m not good enough” is only one of the lies we tell ourselves. Moreover, this is what I told myself most of my life along with other lies like “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll never amount to anything”, “You’re too fat”, “You’re not pretty enough”, and the like. What Lies Do You Tell Yourself? I guess the point that I’m trying to make is that these are lies. So, why did I continue to believe…

Why Do We Need a Mediator?

By Adrian Rogers “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”  John 3:16-17 Between God and Man there is a chasm, eroded by sin. On one side is holy God. On the other side is sinful Man. The…

16 For 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.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Romans 8:10 (NLT). “And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.”

Galatians 2:20 (NLT). “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

John 14:15-17 (NASB2020). “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. The Holy Spirit I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever; the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.”

Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT). “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

Re: love you: I think John DID end calls with love you/I love you/etc but stopped when Dean started being...weird about it. After that John was paranoid and wouldn't say it to either of them, and Dean feels like shit about it. Sam never really clocked it, but dean knows exactly why John stopped saying it. (From twochildreninamoteldemo)

Oh man. OH MAN. Crushing but ultimately extremely plausible. If there is someone out there who can love someone to (literal) death and somehow fail to communicate it to the very someone it would be our guy John Winchester.

(But also you hit on my favorite thing about John/Dean as a ship, which is: it's so risky! It's truly dangerous and vicious and cruelty abounds in every iteration, and our joy as the audience resides in trying to locate where that love can be found through all the other awful, terrible, no-good stuff and just.... I love them so much!!

Because what is the kind, loving thing to do if you think your son feels extremely inappropriate feelings towards you? What if you have already fucked up so severely and so continuously that there's no walking back that emotionally incestuous relationship because you too have come to rely on it and him so much? Do you just create arbitrary and ineffective boundaries as a last ditch effort? Do you kick him out? Or worse, what if you love him and find him disgusting? How do you fix him if you can't fix anything else about your life? And, on Dean's end, what is the least worst thing your father can do to you that wouldn't leave you permanently damaged? I was speaking recently to a pal about this and I said, really without thinking too much about, that it seems to me that by the time we meet them in S1, but probably significantly earlier than that, Dean is already at a place where nature and nurture and circumstances and the innate human aptitude for fucking up and being fucked up (or sin, if you're me) are such that there is nothing John could do that he wouldn't resent, if not immediately then eventually down the line --- it's cruel if dad fucks him and cruel if he doesn't, it's terrible if dad leads him on but it's worse if he shuts him out and even worse if he doesn't even notice him at all. Dean will hate him if he leaves him to die and he'll hate him if he dies to save him --- it's crazy and wonderful and it hurts my heart always always <3)

For God So Loved the World

What Does “World” Mean in John 3:16?

[padderley14]

Jesus is the Foundation

Jesus is the foundation for understanding who you are in Christ and who God created you to be. You see, it all starts with Him. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He bridged the gap between God Almighty and human beings. A relationship that was broken when Adam and Eve first sinned. Unconditional Love John 3:16-17MEV says: It is through Jesus that we are forgiven for our every sin when…

God looks on the heart is often used as a comforting verse and there is much truth to that but let us remember that if we harbor evil in our heart God will judge that.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew 5:28

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John 3:15

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isaiah 14:13

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17:10

God Owes Us Nothing, But He Gave Everything Through His Son Jesus Because He Loved You

John 3:14-17 (AMPC) 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], 15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may [a]not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever! 16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that…
