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. John 3:16
When he was playing for the Florida Gators, Tim Tebow decided to write Bible verses on his eye blacks, and one Saturday he chose John 3:16. It was a televised game, and Tebow later learned 94 million people googled “John 3:16” during the game. How do 94 million people not know John 3:16?
- According to John 3:16, God’s love is extensive. For God so loved the [whole] world… His love extends to every tribe and nation, to every believer and non-believer.
- His love is expensive. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…The Lord loved us enough to sacrifice His own Son for us.
- His love is expansive. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him…“Whoever” is a wonderfully inclusive word that reaches all who respond.
- God’s love is eternal: … that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Because of Christ we have an endless life of blessing. What a message to share with the millions who need John 3:16!
What a big God that we serve. I’m out playing a silly game, and I put these things under my eyes and it’s amazing what God can do. Tim Tebow
