John 3:16 captures the heart of the gospel message in one of the most beloved and memorable expressions in all of Scripture. As we continue our journey through the Nicene Creed, we also come to very heart of its confession: the One True God has made a way for sinners to be saved, to know forgiveness, life, and joy found only in him. Inside the phrase, “For Our Salvation,” we find the motivating reason behind the sending of God the Son.
