God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won\\u2019t perish but will have eternal life. God didn\\u2019t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him isn\\u2019t judged; whoever doesn\\u2019t believe in him is already judged, because they don\\u2019t believe in the name of God\\u2019s only Son.\\n\\u201cThis is the basis for judgment: The light came into the world, and people loved darkness more than the light, for their actions are evil. All who do wicked things hate the light and don\\u2019t come to the light for fear that their actions will be exposed to the light. Whoever does the truth comes to the light so that it can be seen that their actions were done in God.\\u201d\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Daniele D’Andreti\\nThe post Divine Lover – John 3:14-21 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
