  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

For God so loved the world that he Gave (Jesus), His only begotten, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have Everlasting life.

1.) God so loved the world that He gave. Gave what? Gave us all Salvation.
Jesus is the Grace of God, the Bread of God, and the Blood of God, who came as God, to die for the sin of the world.
To be saved is to receive this redemption by faith. = "the gift of righteousness".
This is HOW = God "so loved the world".

2.) That whosoever believes in Him"""" . "Believes in Him"....>How? = Faith comes by hearing. Hearing What? The GOSPEL.... So, you Believe the Gospel. The Gospel is THE CROSS. You are accepted by God ... "faith is counted as Righteousness", you are "justified by faith".

3.). Should not perish""". This is the eternal effect of being born again. This is Eternal Security.
This happens because God so loved the world that He gave Himself on a CROSS, and this offer of Salvation, once applied, (born again) becomes Eternal life to the believer who is INDWELT (the permanent indwelling of the Spirit of Christ)...

4.) Have everlasting life".... This is the gift of Righteousness, as the Gift of Salvation, which eternally establishes a believer as "IN CHRIST".
To be IN CHRIST= is to be "ONE" with God and Christ.
An Heir of God
A Joint Heir with Christ.
"As Christ IS, so are the born again in this world".
And how? Because Jesus who IS Eternal life. John 14:6 Has literally become a believer's righteousness, because He has not only taken their sin and died for it all, becoming it, but has also become the believer's righteousness of God "In Christ".
The Blood Atonement is the eternally redeeming quality of the Blood of Jesus, that is always in effect regarding the born again.

Good Day, Behold

God did so love the world and out of that love he gave

That (purpose)

the ones believing (doing verb) will not perish.

In Him,

Bill

Absolutely.

John 3:16 is preaching the Cross before there was a Cross.
its a universal invitation to the world.... to "all who will come"..."whosoever will"....COME TO THE CROSS, Believe in YESHUA, AND BE BORN AGAIN.

The Cross is where Jesus takes and becomes our sin and dies for them all, and we thereby become His very Righteousness.
