John 3:13-17
13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Heavenly things come down from there, and Jesus brought these to us, that we might look on Him and believe all He said and has done to make forgiveness and life forever with God possible. We need to believe His life, death, and resurrection and therefore that Jesus is God, the Word man man. That is how much God loves His creation, to send His Son from heaven to bring these good gifts and save us from ourselves, our own sin, and from His due punishment against we who are born against Him.
