Peter Mackenzie, a Methodist preacher of a generation ago, living in England, preached an early sermon from John 3:16.
Gipsy Smith tells us that the preacher said, after
announcing the text: "There are two striking things in my text: When God
loves He loves a world. When He gives, He gives His Son."
Such is the boundless love of the eternal Father of mankind.

Ep 2:4 (GNT): “But God's mercy is so abundant, and his love
for us is so great.”
“By the cross we know the gravity of sin and the greatness
of God's love toward us.” - John
Chrysostom.
“If we comprehend what Christ has done for us, then surely
out of gratitude we will strive to live 'worthy' of such great love. We will
strive for holiness not to make God love us but because He already does.”
- Philip Yancey.
