3:16: The Numbers of Hope

*Entirely rewritten and rerecorded for a more focused and deeply personal study of the most-loved verse in the Bible—John 3:16.

In this updated classic Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado pulls back the curtain on his favorite Bible passage to move you to a profound awareness of God's limitless love, His incalculable sacrifice, and the certainty of His offer of eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This passage is a twenty-six-word parade of hope. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment...and solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions.

With deeply personal accounts of the way this verse shaped Max's own faith journey, this audio Bible study will reveal the gospel story surrounding the promise and unpack God's plan of restoration from the human problems of sin and death. If you know nothing about the Bible, the promise of John 3:16 is where to start.

It's time to live as if you've been "born again", as if you've already been redeemed. It's time to live into the promise, to trust it—so much that this message of God's unending love overflows from you to the world.
