For me, John 3.16 contains the heart of the Gospel. So many essential elements are there, and it affirms the great love of the Savior and the living hope of those who trust in Him!
Beautiful verse :)

Yes; however, there may be good reason to believe that, "whosoever," in John 3:16, is a direct reference to Christ, which would move, "faith" in Ephesians 2:8 from the believer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

And, "hast not denied my faith," in Revelation 2:13 may support this contention.

John 3:16 amen. But the gospel is

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

They had no NT. "according to the Scriptures" Paul knew where it was written ..do you? Christ buried and raised 3rd day according to the Scriptures? :)

But I think it is just a starting point. Once saved, the Lord wants us to mature. In maturity we will discover peace.
