No Bible verse better expresses God's nature than John 3:16. (We ought to submit it to Webster's.) Every word in the passage explains the second one. "For God so loved the world…"
Jesus assumes what Scripture declares: God is.
For proof, venture away from the city lights on a clear night and look up at the sky… Our universe is God's preeminent missionary. "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Psalm 19:1). A house implies a builder; a painting suggests a painter. Don't stars suggest a star maker? Doesn't creation imply a creator? "The heavens declare His righteousness" (Psalm 97:6 NKJV). Look above you.
If God can make a billion galaxies, can't He make good out of our bad and sense out of our faltering lives? Of course He can. He is God.
-- Max Lucado in 3:16 The Numbers of Hope
