John 3:16-17
God LOVES the World
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
The Bible is about God, His Son, and His Holy Spirit...So the Bible is not a science book, although it contains some science in its verses...The Bible has to do with faith, and the history of God's people...God introduced Himself to Abraham and his son Isaac, and his grandson Jacob, after man had sinned...Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are called the three patriarchs...In the Old Testament we would learn about God and His people, the people of Israel...We learn about the type of God He is...
And we sinned after we were created by God, and He still went on to give blessings to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...And all His people...And as we continued to sin, He would send His Son to us, to help us with our sins and to pay our sin debt...God sent His Son to us, not to condemn us because of our sins, but to save us from our sins...His Son would die on the cross to forgive and save sinners and to go on loving God and loving neighbor...And His Son would die wanting us to worship and praise God...God LOVES us and He wants us to know that...God and His Son want us to forgive others, and to show mercy on those who need mercy...God is LOVING, Gracious, Merciful, forever Forgiving, Just, and Absolute Truth...And these things are what He teaches us in the gospel...And that is the Good News...And this is the type of God that God is...
