John 3:16

He loved the world so much, that He sent His son to offer us a gift. The catch is, it is our choice to accept that gift or turn our back on it. God loves us all, from the person who sits and argues that God is not real, to the preacher who leads many more to His fold. Do they all get to go to heaven is a different question.

John 3:16 is kind of my personal pet peeve I think too many times we focus on that one part of John 3...and forget the rest...

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. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
