Meaning of A.D.

Meaning of A.D.   
 
or ad
adverb
 indicating date: used to indicate a date that is a particular number of years after the birth of Jesus Christ. Full form anno Domini

Because of its literal Latin meaning, "in the year of the Lord," ad is traditionally put before the numeral to which it relates, so that it makes grammatical sense if understood in its expanded form: ad 1453. In practice, ad is usually put after the numeral, and it is also acceptable to put it after the identification of a century, as in the fifth century ad. Some writers prefer to use p.e. (Present Era) or c.e. (Common Era) as alternatives in order to avoid the association with Christianity.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
