Here is the fifth of twelve verses to be memorized by April 23rd as part of The Challenge II!
~
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16
~
This verse is probably one of the most well-known of the entire Bible. But don’t allow familiarity to influence you to brush over it too quickly! Every word is so important. Spend time meditating and thinking about each one. Billy Graham is famous for his statement that he has spent his whole life trying to preach from John 3:16.
Are you familiar with the context of John 3:16? One time I shared the Gospel message very clearly with a young man simply by reading and explaining John Chapter 3.
The Wordless Book
John 3:16 is a key verse in the Wordless Book Gospel presentation used by Child Evangelism Fellowship. In the following video, David presents the full Gospel message using the Wordless Book. Take note of the questions that he asks, the verses he uses, and the main points that he makes. These would be helpful to know as you have the opportunity to use this verse in sharing the Gospel.
You can watch another example of someone presenting the Gospel using the Wordless Book at Evanglism Training International.
