The Reason

By Andy Denton on Tuesday, May 2, 2006 - 7:22 pm

Growing up in a Christian church, and attending Bible study classes, we were taught to memorize scripture. The idea being that if you can recall these simple reminders of God’s promises, that in your time of need you can recall them to help you in the middle of strife. One of the most famous of all verses of the Bible (if verses can be famous), is John 3:16.

To this day I am amazed at how few really know what this verse says. I have friends who have attended church all their life, but don’t know what John 3:16 says. We see it held up in football stadiums all across America, thanks to Rollen Stewart. But, people think it’s an encoded message. Maybe this can help us all remember the verse, the message, the reason.

John 3:16
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.
