John 3:16 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
16
A famous verse that is known by most of the civilized world. How many people are aware of this statement of hope and yet choose to ignore it? How simple a gift! This is the hope of all mankind and if we are willing to believe in Jesus Christ then we will have eternal life. But, pay attention to the words. You can't simply believe he was real. You must believe in the mission of Jesus Christ. His desire was to be a sacrifice for us all through the crucifixion, defeat satan by being thoroughly victorious with his resurrection, and then to see us adopted as brothers. Believe in the hope of all mankind, Jesus Christ!
