John 3:16 - for God So Loved the WorldExemplo
Introduction
The scripture of John 3:16 is perhaps the most well-known verse in the Bible.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Despite that, it is also one of the most searched scriptures online. In fact, nearly three million searches for this scripture in Google over the past year—a staggering number—means that someone searches for this scripture every ten seconds!
Just looking at these two facts provides an interesting insight.
If the scripture is so well known that almost anyone can recite it from memory, even some non-believers, then why do people search for it on the web? Why search for something you already know?

This one simple verse captures the essence of the Gospel of salvation that Jesus came to preach. In this verse, we see who ordained the gospel by sending Jesus, what Jesus came to do, why Jesus came to die, what God has promised, and how we can receive and enter into the grace of God.
