John 3:16 – watercress words by Dr Aletha

¹⁶This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us.

We too, then, ought to give our lives for others!

¹⁷If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God?

¹⁸My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

(the gospel of John)

¹⁶For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.

⁷For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.
