John 3:16 declares the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ in a single verse. It is also a very simple and powerful tool for evangelism. Almost every Christian and many non-believers have this verse memorized. Believers can simply proclaim this single verse to bring the Good News of salvation in Jesus to a lost and dying world desperate to hear it.

Many people aren’t aware that the often quoted John 3:16 is part of a nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus – one of the Jewish leaders of that time. During this conversation, Jesus explained the concept of spiritual rebirth through faith in Him.
