Let's look at some insights we learned from three different study Bibles with Bible Gateway Plus! Most of us are familiar with John 3:16, so let's start there and see what we can learn. 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. (NIV) First, let's review what the best-selling NIV Study Bible, with a team of biblical scholars behind it, says about this verse. One of the key points it makes is that, "'So' here means 'in this way' rather than 'so much'." Getting more detail around the original meaning can shed new light on your understanding of this passage. |
Next, let's switch to the NKJV Lucado Encouraging Word Bible. As the title implies, the warmth and charm that is brought by Max Lucado will pick you up when you need to feel God's hope and be comforted. Here John 3:16 is described as "a twenty-six-word parade of hope," and a great place to start your Bible journey |
Now, let's look at the NIV Quest Study Bible. If you have questions about a verse, it's a good place to start as it's premise is to answer questions most people have about the Bible. And, here, it explains the popularity of John 3:16 in how it "recaps the story of salvation" succinctly. |
