Many believers can recite John 3:16 by heart, but have you stopped to reflect on the verse that follows? In our daily prayer and devotional, Peyton Garland invites us to rediscover John 3:17—a reminder that Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save it. If your view of God has been shaped by fear, legalism, or religious trauma, this verse offers hope and healing. Instead of living under the shadow of condemnation, we can step into the freedom of Christ’s love, knowing His heart is for redemption, not punishment.
Main Takeaways
John 3:17 shows us Jesus’ mission is rooted in salvation, not condemnation.
Fear-based faith distorts God’s character and keeps us from intimacy with Him.
The gospel is not about our ability to please God, but about His desire to rescue and redeem us.
Shifting the focus from ourselves to Christ transforms our relationship with Him.
God’s heart is a safe place—full of hope, love, and protection.
Bible Verse Reference
John 3:17 – “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
