Listen from:
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” “The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” He said that “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” “And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world,” “that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” He came “not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many,” “and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
“God sent … His Son into the world,”
To die on the cross for all;
The debt is paid; only believe;
Salvation is in His call.
