This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in Him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust Him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to Him.
John 3:16 -18 The Message
This is how much God loved the You: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that You may not be destroyed; by believing in Him, You can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling You how bad You was. He came to help, to put You right again. You who trust in Him are acquitted; if You refuse to trust Him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of Your failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to Him.
Pastor Don’s way reading the verse….by doing this it makes it more personal. You may also replace the word “you”, with your name….Try it…it’s ok….next time you run across a verse or passage, put your name in the passage or the verse.
