Three-Sixteen

Hi all! In this space over the next weeks, I’ll be posting a series of devotions on 3:16s of the New Testament. You probably know the famous verse, John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” This verse is justly famous because it encapsulates the Good News God has for us in just a short sentence.

You may not know some of the other 3:16s of the Bible, though, but there are some very interesting verses that give a lot of insight into the person and mission of Jesus, the role of Scripture, and the ministry of the church.

Out of the New Testament’s 27 books, six do not have a 3:16: Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude are only one chapter long, while chapter 3 in 1 Timothy and Titus are shorter than 16 verses. So there are 21 3:16s, and I’ll be posting a devotion on each of them right here over the next weeks and months. I’ll be posting at least one per week except weeks when I’m out of town. I pray this series gives us all some insight into the various books of the New Testament and what God would have us see in each!
