Day 217: John 3:16

"God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life." ~John 3:16, NCV

This is the verse of Christian propaganda. I doubt you will find someone who claims to be a christian and doesn't know this verse. Even non-christians know this verse, it's so prevalent! It's really easy to skim over what we already know, or to cast aside the unimportant verse we know by heart.

But what this verse basically says is that regardless of who we are, what we've done, or what we're afraid of, God a) loves us, and b) saved us from it, with only one criteria from this verse, and that is belief in His son.
