John 3:17,though not as well known as verse sixteen is nevertheless an incredible promise it states in verse,17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

The world was condemned already and lost without hope, but God sent his Son to earth on a rescue mission to save those who had no hope of rescue.The guilty condemned individual that believes in Jesus is ,forever rescued from the condemnation, that leads to everlasting banishment from the kingdom of God .(Rom 8:1)states, Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for the law of the spirit of life has set us free from the law of sin and death.

For God’s adopted kids there will be no eternal punishment due them on judgment day Christ was punished in place of us on the cross, and we walked away forever forgiven(1 Peter 3:18).

There is no greater news found in all of the earth than the gospel (good news). The gospel offers forgiveness for all of our sins, reconciliation with God, and life unending in heaven, through faith alone in Christ alone through His life, death, and resurrection alone ( John 11:25).
