Pin It 
For GOD (not Buddha, not Allah, not Lao Tsu, not The Source, not The Force) 

so LOVED  (not pitied, not judged, not condemned, not ignored, not ridiculed, not gave up on)

the WORLD  (anyone and everyone, each and every last person who ever lived on this planet)

that HE GAVE  (not coerced, not bribed, not conned, not commanded, but willingly)

HIS ONE AND ONLY SON (not his servant, not his slave, not some random person off the street, but His SON)

SO THAT (purposefully, intentionally, with full planning and forethought)

WHOEVER (anyone, everyone, each and every last person who ever lived on this planet)

BELIEVES IN (trusts, hopes in, relies on, calls upon as their Lord and Savior)

HIM (Jesus, The Son, God Incarnate, Creator of The Universe, King of King and Lord of Lords)

shall NOT PERISH (spend eternity in Hell, separated from every good thing Forever.  And Ever.)

but HAVE (possess, claim)

ETERNAL LIFE. (Happily Ever After in Heaven with God and Jesus.  Forever.  And Ever.)

“He became what we are so that he might make us what he is.”
― St. Athanasius of Alexandria
