John 3:16 is the good news about Jesus Christ boiled down to one verse, it is all anyone needs to know to be saved. God loved us enough to send Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for the sins of those who put their trust in Him: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) making mankind condemned to spiritual death: "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
