I believe John 3:16 is the most important verse in the entire Bible. The whole Bible is important, but without this verse, humanity would be going to hell right now. There wouldn't be any Jesus that came to save us from our sins. It would also show us that God would not have loved the world that much, either. And all these false doctrines about losing your salvation or getting baptized to go to Heaven would now be true IF if weren't for John 3:16. You can say that there are other verses in the Bible that tell us how to get saved and go to Heaven, but, without this verse, it's just one verse less for a person to have faith into getting saved.
So many professed Christians say that in order to be saved, you must get Baptized. I ask this of you though, what does John 3:16 say?
" 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." -John 3:16
Do you see ANYWHERE in that verse that says in order to be saved, you must get Baptized? No! All you have to do to get saved is believe in Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and take you to Heaven when you die! It don't get much simpler than that.
So many professed Christians say that you can loose your salvation if you get to far away from the Lord. Again, I ask of you, what does John 3:16 say?
"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." -John 3:16
I don't see ANYWHERE in John 3:16 where the verse read that you can loose your salvation. On the contrary, once you believe in Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and take you to Heaven when you die, you are, according to John 3:16 saved FOREVER. That is why John 3:16 is so important! This Verse GUARANTEES our everlasting salvation! It guarantees that we, who believe in Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sins and take us to Heaven when we die, WILL BE SAVED FOREVER!!!
So many professed Christians say that a sign of them being saved is when they speak in "tongues". I ask this of you, yet again, what does John 3:16 say?
" 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." -John 3:16
Do you see ANYWHERE in John 3:16 where the verse says speaking in tongues is a sign of your Salvation? No! John3:16 clearly tells us that if we just believe in Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sins and take us to Heaven when we die, we are saved forever! That is our sign of Salvation! John 3:16 says so! We asked Jesus to come into our hearts and declared Him as our Personal Saviour! Why must "Christians" speak in tongues when John 3:16 makes no mention that speaking in tongues is a sign of your Salvation? It's not.
I can literally apply this verse to every false religion and false doctrine in the world today and expose them with just John 3:16! I pray that you will see just how important this verse really is. If you stick by John 3:16, you will see just how many cults are really false; just how many false doctrines are really false; and just how the world likes to hide this verse from Christians so they will never know what to believe in. You want truth? Apply John 3:16 to every thing. The results might surprise you...
" 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." -John 3:16
