The term “God” in John 3:16

Prior chapter

 

“God so loved the world” are just pretty words unless we first understand several parts of the Bible.

 

The Holy Trinity consist of “God the Father,” the “Son of God,” and the “Holy Spirit.”

God the Father is holy. He maintains an environment of righteousness. God’s will is done in heaven (Lord’s prayer)

The Son of God existed as “The Word” since the beginning of time: John 1:1-5.  Only when born on earth did The Word of God become known as Jesus Christ. Christ is the one with authority to judge the earth: John 5:22-30.

 

The Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, or Spirit of Truth is described in John 14:15-26.

 

Chapter 3: "so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son"
