"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." John 3:16 (NIV)
These words were recorded by the Apostle John, as part of The Gospel according to John, which was written so that all people would believe. (John 1:7) Jesus, The Christ, left the splendor of heaven, wrapped Himself in human flesh, and dwelt among us. (John 1:14) Because mankind was lost in sin, He who was without sin, came to earth to die in our place for our sins. (Romans 5:8) The price to be paid for sin was death, and He paid the price for all of us so that we might have a chance at salvation and eternal life. (Romans 6:23)
The Lord God loves us, and it would please Him if all mankind would be saved and that none would be lost. However, man was given the free will to choose to believe as he wants. Only those who choose to believe in Christ will be given the gift of eternal life. Those who choose not to believe have condemned themselves. (John 3:18)
