The Promise Of Salvation John 3:16-17

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17 For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

I. GOD’S PROMISE TO SAVE A. It is an OLD Promise

Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

II. GOD’S POWER TO SAVE A. He Has the Power to CALL the Sinner

Romans 3:11 There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

John 1:9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

James 4:14 Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow James 4:14 Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Proverbs 29:1 He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Proverbs 29:1 He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

B. He has the POWER to convert the sinner Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.”

1 John 3:1-2 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Revelation 21:27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of Life.

C. He Has the POWER to. Conserve the Saint C. He Has the POWER to Conserve the Saint. John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

III. GOD’S PROVISION TO SAVE A. He Provided a PRECIOUS Substitute

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17 For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Romans 5:6-8 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die;

yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

B. He Provided a PERFECT Sacrifice Hebrews 9:24-28 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true,

But into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another--

26 He would then have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

27 and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

C. He Provided a PLAN of Salvation John 3:16-17 Romans: 10:9-10 Acts 16:31

Romans: 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Acts 16:31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
