For God So Loved "Those People" John 3:16-17 Note: This is not a peaceful post. In fact, it could be rather divisive. Truth has a way of doing that.
For God so loved liars, that He gave His only Son, that if a liar believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn liars, but in order that liars might be saved through Him.
For God so loved cheaters, that He gave His only Son, that if a cheat believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn cheaters, but in order that cheaters might be saved through Him.
For God so loved thieves, that He gave His only Son, that if a thief believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn thieves, but in order that thieves might be saved through Him.
For God so loved adulterers, that He gave His only Son, that if an adulterer believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn adulterers, but in order that adulterers might be saved through Him.
For God so loved homosexuals, that He gave His only Son, that if a homosexual believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn homosexuals, but in order that homosexuals might be saved through Him.
For God so loved pornographers, that He gave His only Son, that if a pornographer believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn pornographers, but in order that pornographers might be saved through Him.
For God so loved murderers, that He gave His only Son, that if a murderer believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn murderers, but in order that murderers might be saved through Him.
For God so loved rapists, that He gave His only Son, that if a rapist believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn rapists, but in order that rapists might be saved through Him.
For God so loved pedophiles, that He gave His only Son, that if a pedophile believes in Him they will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn pedophiles, but in order that pedophiles might be saved through Him.
For God so loved the world (that means the entire world, not just the "good" people), that He gave His only Son, that whoever (anybody, be it sweet little child or the person that rapes and murders that child) believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world (We all know what it's like to be condemned; by others, or by ourselves. If you don't yet, you will.) but in order that the world might be saved (from death, judgement, circumstances, sins, addictions, anything that holds you; He can and will save you) through Him.
Think about who you consider "those people" and put them into the verse. It might just change the way you view them.
This post is not aimed at the "bad" people, but at the "good" people who consciously or unconsciously condemn others and forget that God loves them and Christ died for them too.
