God loves

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
The entire world
His only son
Begotten
unique only one like him
There is no other
Wages of Sin
Death
Belief takes away the wages as they were paid by Christ
eternal life is in its place

He did not judge

John 3:17-18 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
He will be the judge at the end of days
but came to earth as a babe not to be the judge, but to save
We have already been judged through our choice to follow Him or not. Our sin has brought our judgement. With sin comes death, we are guilty, no questions or investigation needed. Yet when we make Him Lord, then we are released from that Judgement, we are saved.
those who believe are not judged
it has been removed

The judgement

John 3:19 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
Light has come but darkness preferred
Jesus came and brought light

1 John 4:9, By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
