John Chapter 3 Discussion Page 25

For us to have Everlasting Stage is God's wish for all human kinds. Therefore, live according to His examples and ever things He commands.

Yasuo I. Yamada

Man is self-centered and does not want to know the One true God or His son Jesus. Man's heart is fixed on the things of this world and not on the things of God or heaven.

God I Thank You For Giving your Son that I may be save, Jesus Is the only way to God will you give him your heart

In answer to Keith's question about what happens to babies or to people who are not baptized... it is my belief that the scripture means being born of water and of spirit meaning your natural birth and than your spiritual rebirth as a born-again Christian. Although being baptized is an outward sign to others of your dedication and of washing away the old man and coming back out as the new man, I don't share the belief that being baptized is a requirement to salvation. Look at the thief hanging on the cross. The Lord tells him that he would be with him that day in paradise...there definitely was no time to come off the cross and baptize the man, however the thief believed in Him and he was saved.

If man cannot enter the Kingdom of God without having been born of water and of the spirit, what becomes of those that believe yet die before they are baptized? Or to a baby that dies without having been baptized.

When Jesus said, a man be born again it doesnt mean we should go back to our mothers womb and be born again. Born again mean, we must ascept His invitation and live a Christian life. Is also similar to the word Repent; and be an example to other Christian

I am still trying to understand and grasp the wording in the Bible. I do believe in Jesus and I do believe he died on the cross for our sins. John 3:16 is the way for all to see him and he is there for us. I repent for all my sins and ask for foregiveness and please help me understand your word in Jesus name I pray A-men.

God is able

I am so thankful for God's only Son. That He gave all of us a way of escape. That if we can just believe, we can no longer be held bondage by Satan in Sin. For we know that the wages of sin is death; but the Gift of God {Jesus} is eternal Life through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sebeth?

3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease - Is lowing one's self to such a level of inexistence that Christ can shine by & through me & therefore be Gloryfied as to be a light of hope to those who's vision for life has ceased to achieve.

Jesus is yesterday, today and forever nothing can separate us from the love of God because God is good all the time and all the time He is good. Who is worthy of my life my future who is worthy to die for me...worthy is the Lamb who was crucified n the cross of calvary to receive power to bring in the world to who ever accept him as hid Lord and Saviour....Jesus is love greater then Jesus will never reject anyone that comes to Him seeking for help even those who persecute Him because he is love be born again now before is to late because Jesus loves you.

The world needs this light because they are in total darkness. People should be allowed to shaRE THIS LIGHT.

This message comes from our great saviour "God" tells us that we are all saved despite all sins that we are committed......Thanks God for your endless love to us. Iloveyou....jesus....For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believed in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life....Amen....

JESUS is the only way to have eternal life.
There is no substitute for what he did on the cross. It is up to mankind to make the choice
richer or poorer, slave or free,male or female
whatever raze or color or social status.the answer is JESUS given by GOD

The "we" and the "us" in this verse are God's 3 personalities or self expressions. The early church fathers thought of God as an actor wearing 3 character masks, one for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Holy Spirit. The character mask of Jesus, then, is the way God speaks to us and saves us.

Let's state it plainly: The character an actor plays and the actor are one and the same person. This makes Jesus, as God's character, God.

This fact has been in the Bible all along, but few have understood it. But now that we do, let's not reject it. If we do our minds will remain in darkness, and we will never know God as our Savior. He is Jesus, the way God speaks to us.

This is the only way to Heaven. Seek Jesus Christ ASAP so you can enjoy life knowing that you Know the Creator and Saved by His sacrifice.

@Inyang--Where in scripture Inyang--did anyone simply "accepted" Jesus into their lives?
I know that "accepting Jesus into your heart" is the major theme in Christianity these days--but where in the scriptures can we find a PERSON who was actually saved by --- JUST-- "accepting Jesus--into their heart. Nowhere, the actual instructions HOW to receive salvation is found in Act2--A fact which is mostly ignored by the majority of Christians these days.s.

Wow, you know it amazing when I think of the Love of God in our life, and a lot of people today are still wondering if Jesus Christ is truely the Son of God. The bible talk about how God use is words to manifest the heaven & earth! In John chaper one the bible also give an account, how is own received him not well. My point is this; the same words that greated the heaven & the earth; the bible said the voice of God came walking in the garden, adam said I heard thy voice & I hid myself, I'm ashame of my nakedness after disobeying. But Out of love God still cloth them with an animal skin. that same voice that came walking in the garden is "JESUS" THE VOICE OF GOD BEEN MANIFESTED IN A HUMAN FLESH, for the remission of our sin' to take away the sin of the whole world against God: John 3:16, is saying that anybody that believed in this voice of God call Jesus shall never have anything against God for ever & ever.....make a wise choice today by accepting Jesus into your life, & be free person from the devil.........???????????tomorrow maybe to leta do it now.

If Jesus is God's son, (the only begotten,) how could he be God except in purpose? If Jesus is God (Trinity) When Jesus died, who resurrected him?

John16:3 is the foundation of the christian eternity.Thank you God.

Nabeel's John Chapter 3 comment about verse 16 on 7/09/2013, 1:55pm...

John (3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.
Can anyone explain to me the meaning of "Begotten"
Good question. Why don't YOU search the scriptures and do a WORD study---and see for yourself--first hand.

how about the people who lived before the time of Jesus? will they not be saved? jesus is said to be son of man too. the "son" here i suppose is one who is pious, very near the Creator, being loved by GOD and not as biological son. David, Israel etc were also begotten sons of GOD, even us are all children of GOD.

The bible says you must be water baptized, also baptized by the holy spirit. The only way to enter the gate of heaven.

Man in depravity needs this scripture of hope. How does one explain the descent of man to the abyss of corruption and craze of the mind,so much that same *** lust after each other. Man needs the saviour, Jesus is the saviour

The greatest gift is Jesus Christ. God loves me so much that He allowed His only son to die for my sins.If not Jesus Christ my life could have been like human waste. Please join me appreciate Him for makinjg my life better

It's amazing there so many different "beliefs" systems in the Christian community, especially when Jesus taught only one "specific" gospel to his disciples. Jesus then told his disciples to go and teach THAT SPECIFIC GOSPEL to the world. In one corner we have people who seek salvation by "only believing" on or in Jesus Christ. In the other corner we have those are accused of being "legalistic" in their approach to obtain salvation. Question- where do we find the VERY FIRST instructions as to obtaining salvation??
Was in it St John, or Romans, maybe Ephesians? No, it was in Acts. In Acts , Peter gave specific instructions how to obtain salvation. Christians today would probably call Peter a "legalist" because he told the men to "do" a "work". Peter told them to repent, and BE BAPTIZED for the remission of their sins. IF baptism is actually a work of man, then Peter had no right to instruct those men to be baptized. Question--was Peter actually a "legalist"? Is baptism a "self righteous work" of man, or is it REALLY for the REMMISION of sins??. Should Peter instructed those men to ONLY BELIEVE on Jesus? Naturally everyone has their "own belief system". BUT does their belief system acre with the Bible.??

I agree that GOD has sent HIS Son for a purpose.Purpose being that we all should believe in HIM,it is stated clearly where it says "that whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM." should not perish. it is HIS will for us all to believe in HIM and have everlasting life. It clarify's it in verse 36, where again it say's "He that Believeth on the SON shall have everlasting life." But does it mean if I hear about HIM and attend church on Sundays and go to Bible studies and do all the goody two shoe stuff to look holy n all, does that means I am exempt from being perish? Hello, I hope you don't think that just because you look Holy, act Holy and go Church mean that's all it is to be exempt from GODs wrath, cause Baby it's not. Who ever is saying it is lying to you, straight up. This verse say's you NEED to Believe in HIM not, do all the rituals. But to Believe in HIM. "to put your FAITH, your Hopes, Your Life in HIS Hands and TRUST that HE (who you cannot see) will HELP you through everything and anything. Read and Believe also in Proverbs 3:5-7. That is what Believing in JESUS is all about. Give your life to HIM and Let HIM lead you. That Was GOD's purpose for sending HIS only SON.

this quotes tells us that god loves us more than 1000x...our expectation
