Many people love this verse.
Many people actually believe it's the Gospel in a nutshell.
Many people even think it's what the whole Bible is about.
Many people, unfortunately, do not read the Bible. Most hear it read out loud, in church, once a week.
Many people who love John 3.16 have no idea what John 3.15 is about. Or John 3.17.
Many people who love John 3.16 have no idea what John Chapter 3 is about. Or what the Gospel of John is about.
Many people who love the Bible have no idea what the Bible is all about!
