Three
types of love: (Agape= sacrificial love; phileo= blood relational love; and eros=
an erotic love)
This
is the world’s most well-known Scripture. Brief and to the point. Jesus
revealed God’s great love (agape=sacrificial love).
1. The fact: God so loved (v.16)
2. The evidence: God gave (v.16)
3. The purpose: To save (v.16)
a.

perishing
b.
To
eternal life
c.

believing
4. The proof: God sent His Son (the
Incarnation) (v.17)

to condemn
b.

to save
5. The means: through Him (Jesus
Christ)
