That is a very good verse.
This opening post is very disconcerting. It makes out that God's love is conditional. And I didn't see in John 3:16 that part where it says, that whosoever is obedient to him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
I think someone who's living their life hoping to be obedient as if living under a strict parents rod of discipline is missing the beauty of the gospel truth. That's very sad to think about.
