For God the Father
So loved the world,
He sent His only Begotten Son
That who ever shall believe in Him
Will not perish
But have everlasting life.
The only begotten Son of God
Came down
And became a man
To be a mediator
Between God and men
Jesus Christ went through
What we go through
So He can relate and understand
Our life's situation
Now He sits
At God the Father's right hand
And intercedes
For us
May this truth
Set you free
May this truth
Help you see
For God desires
That none would perish
But that all would be saved
God desires
That none would perish
But that all would believe
For God the Father
So loved the world,
He sent His only Begotten Son
That who ever shall believe in Him
Will not perish
But have everlasting life.

John 3:16 (ESV)
For God So Loved the World
16 "For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
1 Timothy 2:3-7 (ESV)
3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying),
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
John 1:1-5 (ESV)
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
1 John 1 (ESV)
The Word of Life
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,
which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life-
2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life,
which was with the Father and was made manifest to us-
3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you,
so that you too may have fellowship with us;
and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
Hebrews 1 (ESV)
The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things,
through whom also he created the world.
3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,
and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins,
he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited
is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Son,
today I have begotten you"?
Or again,
"I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son"?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."
7 Of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire."
8 But of the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."
10 And,
"You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11
they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12
like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end."
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve
for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

1 John 1:5-10 (ESV)
5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness,
we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:1-6 (ESV)
Christ Our Advocate
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.
But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.
By this we may know that we are in him:
6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
1 John 3 (ESV)
1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
that we should be called children of God; and so we are.
The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared;
but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning;
no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you.
Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil,
for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him;
and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil:
whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Love One Another
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another.
12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother.
And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.
13 Do not be surprised, brothers,that the world hates you.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers.
Whoever does not love abides in death.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer,
and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us,
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need,
yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;
20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments
and do what pleases him.
23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and love one another,
just as he has commanded us.
24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him.
And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
