Loved - John 3:16

 ^"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

This famous verse is important because it tells us about the unconditional love that God has for his creation, it teaches us about the sacrifice God made for us, and it helps us understand the eternal implications of being a follower of Jesus. This verse is a promise and affirms the hope we have as Christians that there is an eternal life waiting for those who believe in Jesus.
