My breakdown of John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This is the heart of the Christianity. Each part of this verse says something important.
>For God
Theism is asserted and atheism denied.
>so loved the world,
Dualism asserted. God is not the world, he loves the world. God is benevolent.
>that he gave
God is a giver. The world receives.
>his only begotten Son,
Jesus is unique and divine, not merely an enlightened man, not merely one son of God among many.
> that whosoever believeth in him
All are called without exception. Belief in Jesus is the only condition for salvation. Salvation is utterly simple.
>should not perish,
Our natural fate would be to perish. We are born mortal.
>but have everlasting life.
Immortality is a reality and consequence of belief.
