‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ —John 3:16
Paul Borthwick unpacks the Bible's most famous verse to unveil God's intentional, sacrificial mission for the world. He examines every word in John 3:16 to reveal the underlying motivation for mission, the global scope of God's call, and how we are invited to enter into partnership with God. This mission statement highlights the centrality of Jesus and the relational nature of the invitation to follow him—for the world to escape perishing and enter eternal life.
God still loves the world, and we can too. Come join him on this mission of love and discover how he brings the world back to life.
