Well you stated to my comment that John 3:16 is salvation in a nut shell;

Uh, no. Not even close. Salvation cannot be put in a nutshell. It is a living process. Christ came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly.

So what am I to gather from your response to my statement of what Christ said?

After all, the thief on the cross did nothing but believe. It was his salvation, all wrapped up in what Christ told Nicodemus.

Christ didn’t say that John 3:16 was salvation in a nutshell. And nothing in my post even remotely suggested that Christ was wrong.
