F.F. Bruce on John 3.16

'For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life'
- John 3:16 (NET).

‘If there is one sentence more than another which sums up the message of the Fourth Gospel, it is this. The love of God is limitless; it embraces all mankind. No sacrifice was too great to bring its unmeasured intensity home to men and women: the best that God had to give, he gave – his only Son, well-beloved’.

F.F. Bruce, The Gospel & Epistles of John (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1994), 89-90.
