John 3:13-21 3:16 In Detail TLB


John 3:13-21 For only I, the Messiah, have come to earth and will return to heaven again.

And as Moses in the wilderness lifted up the bronze image of a serpent on a pole, even so I must be lifted up upon a pole,

so that anyone who believes in me will have eternal life.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust him to save them. But those who don't trust him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God.

Their sentence is based on fact; that the Light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

They hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in the darkness. They stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed and they would be punished.

But those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that they are doing what God wants them to."

Ephesians 4:7-10 However, Christ has given each of us special abilities--whatever he want us to have out of his rich storehouse of gifts.

The psalmist tells about this, for he says that when Christ returned triumphantly to heaven after his resurrection and victory over Satan, he gave generous gifts to men.

Notice that it says he returned to heaven. This means that he had first come down from the heights of heaven, far down to the lowest parts of earth.

The same one who came down is the one who went back up, that he might fill all things everywhere with himself, from the very lowest to the very highest.

John 3:31-36 "He has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth.

He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them!

Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth. For this one --sent by God-- speaks God's words,

for God's Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.

The Father loves this man because he is his Son, and God has given him everything there is.

And all who trust him--God's Son--to save them have eternal life; those who don't believe and obey him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them."

John 6:47 How earnestly, I tell you this -- anyone who believes in me already has eternal life!

1 John 4:7-11 Dear friends, let us practice loving each other, for love comes from God and those who are loving and kind show that they are children of God, and that they are getting to know him better.

But if a person isn't loving and kind, it shows that he doesn't know God--for God is love.

God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into this wicked world to bring to us eternal life through his death.

In this act we see what real love is: it is not our love for God but his love for us when he sent his Son to satisfy God's anger against our sins.

Dear friends, since God loved us as much as that, we surely ought to love each other too.

Luke 9:51-56 As the time drew near for his return to heaven, he moved steadily onward toward Jerusalem with an iron will.

One day he sent messengers ahead to reserve rooms for them in a Samaritan village.

But they were turned away! The people of the village refused to have anything to do with them because they were headed for Jerusalem.*

When word came back of what had happened, James and John said to Jesus, "Master, shall we order fire down from heaven to burn them up!

But Jesus turned and rebuked them,

and they went on to another village.

John 5:24-25 "I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life.

"And I solemnly declare that the time is coming, in fact, it is here, when the dead shall hear my voice -- the voice of the Son of God--and those who listen shall live.
