Bible Question: there is a favorite bible verse that is advertized by somebody, it is John 6:33 or something like that. i think its a wrestler who uses that verse? can anybody help. is it steve austin? what does that verse signify? |
Bible Answer: mikec, I do not watch pro wrestling but someone at work asked me what John 3:16 was because a wrestler had it on his clothes. Not only is it a very important verse concerning salvation, but the numbers 3:16 (obviously) hold special significance to me. See the books of first and second Timothy, as well as Revelation. As far as the significance of the verse listed above,First, is an example of God’s love in giving his Son freely to the world, this includes three things:—1. The mystery of the gospel being revealed: The love of God the Father is the source of our regeneration by the Spirit and our reconciliation by the lifting up of the Son. Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God. This is an exhibition of His love, in giving him to us we know we that he loves us. Concerning the redemption and salvation of man, it pleased God to give his only-begotten Son. He not only sent him into the world prepared with full power to negotiate peace between heaven and earth, but he gave him, to suffer and die for us, as the great propitiation or expiatory sacrifice. This is how God commends his love for the world: God so loved the world, so completely, so richly. Now his creatures shall see and know that he loves them, and wishes them the very best of all things. He so loved the world of fallen man as he did not love that of fallen angels; see Rom. 5:8; 1 Jn. 4:10. Also we have, in verse 17, is God’s design in sending his Son into the world: it was that the world through him might be saved. He came into the world with salvation in mind, with salvation in his hand. Therefore the offer of life and salvation is sincere, and shall be made good to all that by faith accept it. Bless you my brother, tim |
