John 3:16 - LOVE SUPREME!

John 3:16: LOVE SUPREME!

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his 
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 
but have everlasting life. 

John 3:16 (AMP) For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the 
world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that 
whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not 
perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) 
life. 

   This is a beloved verse for many Christians. Perhaps that's 
because this short sentence sums up the Gospel so well. 
   I once heard a speaker give an excellent word-by-word 
treatise on John 3:16. God (the greatest Giver) so loved (the greatest 
motive) the world (which has the greatest spiritual poverty) that he 
gave (the greatest act of all) his only Son (the greatest gift), that 
whosoever (the all-time greatest invitation) believes in him (the greatest 
opportunity) should not perish (the greatest deliverance) but have eternal 
life (the greatest joy). 
   In one short verse, we meet the greatest Giver who has the 
highest motive to meet the most exacting demands of justice by the most 
powerful act of giving. His is the most breath-taking invitation for the 
greatest deliverance from the worst of hells to the highest of joys - 
eternal fellowship with God. 
   Most striking is how sinful and wicked "whoever" is in this 
verse! It makes John 3:16 all the more astounding. And so, "...God 
demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ 
died for us" (Romans 5:8). Later on, Romans 8:32 expounds on his 
love, for "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us 
all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all 
things" 
   Meditate on the words of this time-honored hymn...
"Could we with the ink the ocean fill and were the skies of 
parchment made,  
Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole tho stretched from sky to 
sky"*  
   Lord, I humbly bow my knee before you today - what great 
love you have for sinful man!" [Joni Eareckson Tada Daily Devotional:
