16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
18 "There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God.
19 Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
20 They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished.
21 But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants."
God's love is overwhelming! He sent His only Son to save us! He sent Jesus to bare all our sins on the cross so that WE could have eternal life!
Eternal life is not natural to us. We have a hard time understanding the concept. God does not force us to seek Him or to seek eternal life. He gives us the free gift of salvation when we seek him and obey Him.
First we have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Then, what should you do to be saved? Read Acts 2:38 to start. Read about the jailer in Acts 16, find out what he did to be saved.
