“FOR” God So “LOVED” the World, Part 2 (John 3:16)

Summary

Pastor Chris McCoo explains John 3:16 by emphasizing that God's love is directed specifically toward His people, not the entire world indiscriminately. He draws a parallel between the brass serpent lifted up in the wilderness and Christ's sacrifice, highlighting that only those who recognize their sinfulness and are spiritually alive can benefit from Christ's salvation. The sermon stresses that God's love is active, purposeful, and everlasting, demonstrated by Christ dying for sinners even when they were enemies of God.
