Read John 3.16-21. In 3.16-21: First summary of the Gospel.. In verses 16-18: God's love is revealed in the giving of his unique son. Compare the use of sent in 5.36; 6.29, 57; 17.1, 8, 18, 21, 23, 25; 20.21; 1 Jn 4.10). The coming of the Son gives life; rejecting him brings death and condemnation see 12.47-48). "Believing" a key term is used 98 times. In verses 19-21: The coming of Jesus as the light of the word (see 1.4-5, 9-13; 8.12; 9.5) creates a situation of a judgment because people cannot avoid the choice of light or darkness. The point emphasizes the inevitability of choice, in which the person is revealed (compare 16.8) as born of God or as a child of darkness (the devil, see 8.43-47). Comments or Questions..
