No one has ever gone into heaven except the One who came from heaven. He is the Son of Man. Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. The Son of Man must be lifted up also. Then everyone who believes in Him can live with God forever.

God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son. Anyone who believes in Him will not die but will have eternal life.

God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world. He sent His Son to save the world through Him. Those who believe in Him are not judged. But those who do not believe are judged already. They have not believed in the Name of God's one and only Son.

Here is the judgement. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.

All who do evil things hate the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen. But those who live by the truth come into the light. They do this so that it will be easy to see that what they have done is only with God's help.
