JOHN 3:16
NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO BEIEVE
No one who believes in Jesus has to fear condemnation, yet condemnation is already the reality for everyone who refuses to believe, simply because they reject the name of the only Son of God.
Why does God allow for judgement and condemnation? Because the Light, sent from God, pierced through the darkness to expose ill motive, hatred, gossip, greed, violence, and the like. Still some people preferred the darkness over the light simply because their actions were dark.
Some of humankind still hate the light of God. They scamper hurriedly back into the darkness where vices thrive and wickedness flourishes.
Still, there remains Hope and Light for everyone who will
believe!
HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND YOU
Those who abandon deceit and embrace what is true, they will enter into the light where it will be clear that all their deeds come from God.
Jesus makes the point very clear: stay connected to Him, and you will have no reason to fear. Jesus doesn't mean that at the instant someone has faith, fear simply vanishes or only good things happen in that person's life. In fact, the blessings that come with eternal life often have nothing to do with present or future circumstances, but they have everything to do with the individual's connections to God and others.
This is John's message to his listeners. God came to earth embodied in flesh, and then He reached His greatest acclaim through a torturous death.
Thus, believers will find strength and beauty in places they never imagined. Abiding in Jesus the Anointed is the most wonderful life you or I could embrace, regardless of our
external circumstances.
We just need to allow Jesus to
"Pierce the darkness in our lives with
His life and light!"
Where are you living... in the darkness or in His Light?
