What does the Bible say about God sending His Son into the world?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible states that God sent His Son into the world not to condemn it, but to save it, offering eternal life to those who believe in Him (John 3:17).
In John 3:16-17, the Scripture clearly reveals God's intention behind sending His Son, Jesus Christ. It states that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. Importantly, verse 17 emphasizes that God did not send His Son to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. This underscores the redemptive purpose of Christ's coming, highlighting God's desire for salvation rather than condemnation. This separation between the roles of Christ as Savior and Judge is fundamental to sovereign grace theology, which affirms that salvation is a divine initiative grounded in God's love and mercy.
