Foundations of Grace: New Testament

The Love of God in Christ

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 is the most well-known verse in the entire Bible, and for good reason. It clearly communicates the love that God has for us in Christ. In this lecture, Dr. Lawson studies the doctrine of limited atonement in the gospel of John, presenting the unique interpretive challenges of John’s vocabulary alongside the undeniable case for the particular nature of the atonement in his gospel.
