God so loved the world
16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 – For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 – He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 – And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 – For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” (John chapter 3 verses 16 to 20)
When the glory of God departed at man’s disobedience, darkness encroached everywhere
We need to understand one fact as we go through this subject of ‘For God so loved the world’. From the beginning it was clear that God created the heaven and the earth, God did not create the world and its system. It is good to know that the world and its system was never in God’s plan concerning humanity. The two things that was specified in the scripture that God created is the heaven and earth.
It obvious that God never created the world and its system. The world was the pattern that stepped into place when man disobeyed. When the glory of God departed at man’s disobedience, darkness encroached everywhere. Everywhere was enveloped by darkness because the one that stole away the kingdom of the earth from man does not have what it takes to produce and give light.
It was the greatest mistake ever conducted in the human race when man listened to the deception of the devil and embraced it
The world system is a system that is bedded in darkness and it thrives on darkness. There is never a trace of light in the world and its system. One can begin to picture how bad and terrible things were the very moment man caused the glory of God to depart when he went through that path of treason to sell away the authority of man to an enemy of the kingdom. It was the greatest mistake ever conducted in the human race when man listened to the deception of the devil and embraced it.
It is God that is the light. It is satan that is the darkness. Anywhere light is made visible, God has appeared to show forth His glory thereby revealing His plans for the betterment of mankind and his race. When you see darkness encroaching, be sure it is the devil trying to take advantage to inflict man with pains. No matter how nice the deception of the devil may be, he is after something glorious to be stolen from man. When the deception of the devil starts sounding real to someone, know it he is in for complete destruction.
The reason why God should ever love the world is the fact that man created in God’s image after His likeness was trapped in darkness
Here is the bible made it obvious that for God to loved the world! God has no reason to loved the world in the first place. God has no reason to have anything to do with the world and its system. If there is any reason why God will love the world, that must be something serious and dear to Him. The reason why God should ever love the world is the fact that man created in God’s image after His likeness was trapped in darkness.
You must understand the fact that you can’t correct what you hate. What you hate is what you are created to correct. What you hate triggers purpose out from one’s heart. The only way you can impact and make an effective effect in the affairs of life is for you to start loving what you hate with the mindset to deploy solution to get it corrected and bring transformation. You must put your full attention to whatever you hate as an avenue to deliver the right cure for it.
Once a prostitute gets tired of prostitution and accept the free gift of God’s love to mankind, immediately prostitution marks its end in the person life.
That was exactly the strategy God deployed when He came for the salvation and redemption of man through Christ Jesus. In the midst of all manner of iniquities going on the earth, God still poured out His unexplainable love for the rescue of man. I will not want you to get me wrong, God loved the world of prostitution. That does not means in the real sense that God loves prostitution or He encourages the movement of prostitution in the human race.
God extended His loved to the world of prostitution because of the human that is involved. Here is what everyone needs to understand, God loves the prostitute but He hates prostitution. God loves the person created in His image after His likeness, but He hates the bad behaviour and bad attitude surrounding this person. Once God gets a prostitute to align to accept the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross, prostitution will have no effect any more. Once a prostitute gets tired of prostitution and accept the free gift of God’s love to mankind, immediately prostitution marks its end in the person life.

The reason why it seem as though evil is thriving is because there are people who patronize it. Do not forget in a hurry that man is the temple of God. Even when that temple is badly used and damaged, God understood what it takes to create a temple where He resides. Man is so precious to God that God can extend a hand of love wherever he or she is to get the person saved.
Conclusion:
The deliverance of a person is the end of sin. When someone receives Christ into his or her life, that very moment sin stops having dominion over him or her. Sin losses its strength once light steps in.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2Corinthians chapter 5 verses 17)
