Jesus in talking with
Nicodemus at the beginning of this chapter states
clearly that eternal life is found in Him alone and only
those who believe in Him have this life. He underlines in
our text that He is the reason and the source of eternal
life. He says, “For God so Loved the world…” This phrase
reveals that God is the source of love and the one who gave
us the gift. It also unveils the reason for the gift namely
God’s love. God has always loved the world, but there
needed to be a way of showing that love so that man will
be convinced about it. Giving his only son was love
demonstrated in action. Love can be known only from the
actions it prompts as God’s love is seen in the gift of His
son. God’s love was not because of any worthiness of the
ones He loved; it was a sacrifice.
God did not just give us material things because of His
love, but He gave us a life so that death sinners like us can
live again (I Jn 3:1). This text assures us of God readiness
to give us everything according to His will.
