For God So Loved the World John 3:16 “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Some manuscripts take the first part of this verse, “God so loved the world” and render it as “for this is how God loved the world.” I like that very much. When we get closer to the literal Greek wording of this verse, it gets even better. We could read it as: “For this is how God loved the world, that He gave His one and unique Son, that whoever believes in Him will never perish but have everlasting life.” Either way you read it, this Bible verse may be the most important verse of all for it displays such a sacrificial love – a life-giving love – which is unequaled and unmatched in all the world. Love is a verb and it’s what you do…and this act at Calvary was the most supreme act of love that has ever been displayed. That Christ died for us while we were still His enemies and most unworthy sinners at that, shows that love is an act of the will and not a feeling in the heart.
