Whoever; this is an
important word to look at in regard to the following words of our Lord Jesus
Christ. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. ~
John 3:14-16
What is the definition of the
word “whoever”? It means “anyone”. There are no indications of exceptions in
this word, nor in this scripture. Jesus said that anyone, whoever believes in
Him will not perish; will have everlasting life. He did not say anyone except
the tall, the short, the skinny, the fat, the gay, the straight, or any other
discriminatory exclusion. He said whoever. That means you. That means me. The
ONLY way to have eternal life according to Jesus Himself is that we believe in
Him. That’s it. It’s that simple.
