For God so loved the world

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God is love. Even those who don’t know Him well can sense this truth. However, many do not understand why we face ‘perishing.’

Humans are born with a sinful nature, which can be described as ‘self-centeredness.’ This extreme self-focus drives us to prioritize our own comfort and success, sometimes at the expense of others. In fact, even faith can be practiced in a self-centered way. This way of living doesn’t just affect an individual; it spreads to families and groups, ultimately leading to destruction and chaos—a path to ‘perishing.’

But there is a Savior who came to rescue us from that destruction: Jesus Christ. Through His way of love, He redirected humanity from a path of ruin to a path of salvation. Unlike self-centeredness, His way focuses on God and others. It’s about sacrificing oneself, being like a grain of wheat that dies to bring life to others. Following this path—living selflessly and putting others first—is true salvation.
