John 3:16 says God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son. Not just individuals who were saved. The world.

That said, John 3:16b requires receipt of the Gospel for salvation.

God IS love (1 John 4:8). It is not for us as men to make judgments on the ability, or inability, of God to love any member of His creation unconditionally.

That said, receive the Gospel and be saved.

” John 3:16 says God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son. ”

I’m sorry, but I never found that to be much of a sacrifice for a supreme being with power to do anything.

First, “his only begotten son” - he’s all powerful, he can get more begotten sons. In fact aren’t we all his sons?

As for sacrificing his son, how much of a sacrifice is it when you know, in fact you planned it, he will shortly come back to life?
