For years, I've aimed to simplify the profound message of forgiveness found in John 3:16 for both Christians and non-Christians. This presentation explores God's love for the world, humanity's problem with sin, and God's remedy through His only Son. It invites all to respond to this message and emphasizes how to achieve eternal life through faith. By breaking down the key aspects—God’s purpose, man’s problem, God’s remedy, and man’s response—we can effectively communicate this essential truth.
