A little girl adorably recited John 3:16, and it will absolutely melt your heart.

If a handful of people were asked to name the top, the most well-known verse in God’s Holy Word, there would for sure be a consensus. The most popular verse in the entire Bible is, without question, John 3:16. Even those who are not familiar with or well-versed in the Bible are likely able to say John 3:16 from memory.

In addition to being the runaway, consensus most popular verse in the Bible, John 3:16 is, arguably, the most important. Without that verse, none of us would have a chance. We would have no hope, destined to be lost for eternity. But because God had a love for and pity for lowly sinners, He came up with a way to provide a way and hope.

In a short but adorable clip posted on YouTube, a precious young lady recites John 3:16. For as little as she is, she does quite well. It’s clear that she knows and understands the meaning and idea in the verse, which is what matters.

The video’s description mentions that the little girl, Emmy, had recently learned John 3:16 at school. She felt so strongly about demonstrating the new verse that she’d learned that she had recited the “100 times now,” according to the text in the video.

She recites the verse once in the house, and then, to prove that that time wasn’t a fluke, the video captures her reciting John 3:16 again, this time in the car. Each time, after she finishes saying the verse, the little girl flashes a big smile, showing that she’s proud of her biblical memorization accomplishment.

It's always a delight when children pick up, learn and memorize Bible verses. As God’s Word mentions, children brought up the right way, even when old, will not be turned away from those teachings.

John 3:16 “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.”
