As you may already know, our store is named Love 3:16. This name came to life when my husband and I reflected on the profound message of love found in both 1 John 3:16 and John 3:16. These verses reveal the greatest love of all—the love of God, demonstrated to the world through the sacrifice of His Son, a love that reconciled us all with Him.
John 3:16, perhaps one of the most well-known verses in the Christian faith, says:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
This verse beautifully captures the love of the Father. Then, in 1 John 3:16, we see this love echoed from a different perspective:
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.”
Here, we witness the love of the Son, who willingly gave His life for us.
We’ve always believed that the best way to teach is by example, right? Through these extraordinary acts of love, we’re given a clear picture of what love truly means and how we’re called to love others in return.
When we created our designs featuring the phrase “Love 3:16,” it wasn’t just to promote our store. It was to serve as a reminder of that perfect, unwavering love—a love we can experience and share every single day. Let’s strive to give love freely and embrace God’s love in everything we do.
