John 3:16 says that God loves the world. However, our understanding of this word is too shallow. That God loves the people of the world does not mean that He merely likes them; rather, He loves them to the uttermost, to the extent that He wants to enter into them. In the entire universe there are thousands and millions of items created by God, but that which is the most precious to Him is man, because man is His object to be a vessel to contain Him. God desires to be in man. Therefore, at the beginning the Bible expresses the desire of God, and at the end it shows us again the purpose of God. The sixty-six books of the Bible give a record of God’s works, the ultimate consummation of which is that man can receive God as the tree of life. As the tree of life, God will grow within man to be man’s life. This is God’s purpose. - Living Stream Ministry
