Gospel In Miniature

Luther called John 3:16 “the heart of the Bible—the Gospel in miniature.” It’s so simple a child can understand it; yet it condenses the deep and marvelous truths of redemption into these few pungent words:

“God” …
“So loved” …
“The world” …
“That He gave” …
“His only begotten Son …”
“That whosoever” …
“Believeth” …
“In Him” …
“Should not perish” …
“But” …
“Have” …
“Everlasting Life” …

… The greatest Lover
… The greatest degree
… The greatest number
… The greatest act
… The greatest Gift
… The greatest invitation
… The greatest simplicity
… The greatest Person
… The greatest deliverance
… The greatest difference
… The greatest certainty
… The greatest possession
