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. - John 3:16

Um pretty common verse. Used as a "feel good" verse in society. Whether they know it or not, such as in entertainment wrestling, they have signs with "austin 3:16" or someone's favorite wrestler "3:16"

Hey, the Bible says God sent His Son into the world to save people that believe in Him. 

Feel good...... Well not really known or said is the next verse...... " For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."

In society, God is the "punisher" the one who makes us uneasy...... "GOD IS PUNISHING ME, HE HATES ME" yada yada. That isn't so, the problem is we get the feel good stuff how we want it to be but miss the whole point. God wants to save everyone.

The next time someone says something along the lines of " God is watching down waiting to punish and  wag His finger at me " Or " God wants me to see how bad I will be today adn make me feel bad about myself..." remember verse 17. Not to condemn, but to save.
