The Triune God

John 3:16

I am not a student of numerology, but I do know that there are certain numbers in the Scriptures that have a special significance. Seven is the number of perfection, six is the number of man, and three is the number of God.

This morning I want us to consider a familiar passage of Scripture. I know that we have looked at this verse before, but there is so much to see, it will do us good to look again. A man gave a little boy the shell of a walnut and inside was a piece of paper with John 3:16 written on it. The boy asked what it was, and the man said it is the gospel in a nutshell. That is so true! There is enough truth in this one verse to save the entire world!

I. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son...

II. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever beleiveth in Him should not perish, but have ever- lasting life.

"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." (JOHN 3:16)
