“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” What a wonderful promise from John 3:16!
Whoever. Mathew 10:32 has Jesus saying, “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.” Mathew 10:39: “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Mark 3:35 says, “Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” And Mark 16:16: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” John 6:37: “Whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”
Don’t you love the word “whoever?” God’s gospel has a “whoever” policy.
