This is what St. John wrote, and it is often called “The Gospel in a Nutshell”.
“For God so loved the world,
That He gave His Only-begotten Son,
That whoever believes in Him,
Shall have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world
To condemn the world,
But to save the world through Him.”
That bit of the Holy Gospel of St. John reveals the plan of salvation. And the word “Whosoever” reaches to every person. It does not single any one single person, or race, by name. And that is the comfort.
The Gospel in a nutshell indeed. May it serve to strengthen your faith and bring comfort to your soul.
