“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 3:16, NKJV)

Love here is the noble word so common in the Gospels for the highest form of love (agapao). God showed this kind of love by giving his only begotten Son to die on the cross. He wanted people to believe in him and so have eternal life.

But if people prefer the darkness of their own sin to the light of salvation through Jesus, they bring judgment upon themselves by their own choice(John 3:16-18, NKJV).
