John 3:16 NIV - For God so loved the world that he gave - Bible Gateway
One of my favorite passages of
The Bible . And my late younger brother used to like to point out that no matter how bad a life someone has led there is always salvation if you believe in Jesus Christ. It would seem to have to be a sincere belief though.
My younger late brother had a lot of problems with alcoholism which sometimes took over his life over everything else-- work, kids, and even life.
I have always had problems with why God allows evil to thrive. Christian humanism can counter that as there are often many more good people than rotten ones. Oskar Schnidler, for instance, rescuing Jews under the noses of the true believers of the Third Reich many of whom considered themselves Christians.
