An image of a giant sphere of Earth filled with photographs of groups of people and of individuals, resting in huge open hands against a black background, another of three celestial golden thrones on the Sea of Glass with a rainbow behind them, and another of a man, back view, carrying in his right hand very large letters reading John 3:16, make up this composite illustration for the subject God so loved the world.
"For God so loved the world...."
A snapshot of a composite PowerPoint slide with images of two large groups of people and a globe of earth filled with photographs of people superimposed on a large globe of earth with two cities on the upper circle, blue oceans and continents in shades of tan, yellow, and brown also visible, the whole surrounded by texts on Why God loves the whole world so much.

WHY does GOD LOVE the WHOLE WORLD SO MUCH?
You? Me? EVERYBODY?

1. Because He is the “FATHER of SPIRITS.” The Father of the SPIRIT that dwells in every human body. Hebrews 12:9

​

2. Because we are “GOD’S OFFSPRING.” In spirit, we come from HIM. “In Him, we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28-29

​

3. Because we are made “in the IMAGE of GOD,” “according to” His “likeness.” Genesis 1:26-27  

​

4. We have, then, His SPIRITUAL GENES! We are of His “KIND,” that of spiritual beings, the physical body being simply our “earthly tent… home.” 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

​

5. HIS LOVE is a FATHER's NATURAL LOVE for his NATURAL CHILDREN.

​

For that reason, HE LOVES EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Even those who do not love Him. Who reject His spiritual paternity. Who turn their backs on Him, ridiculing Him. Who divest themselves of the IMAGE they received from Him.

​

He wishes that all recognize Him as a loving and benevolent Father. He “desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” That they spend ALL ETERNITY with Him. 1 Timothy 2:4; Romans 2:6-7; 2 Timothy 1:10

​

Each spirit He engenders in a human body is as PURE as the Father himself. Maturing, it acquires spiritual intelligence and free will, enabled thereby to choose between loving its natural spiritual Father or some other “father.” John 8:44
