Believe or what?

John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” Jesus wants everyone to spend eternity with him.  He came to this world for only one purpose.  The most unfortunate realization is many do not want to know Jesus and are therefore lost in their own world of darkness and will only come to realize what they have done when it is too late.  Jesus is the Light.  Let us all realize that wonderful news and live in Light.

In plain sight

John 3:21 “But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” Everything you and I do is seen by The Light of the world.  Nothing is done anywhere which is unknown to God.  Our thoughts, words and actions are all known to Him.  Do we therefore live in fear becuse of our imperfections?  No, we live rejoicing because we are perfect living with our Savior of Light.  Rejoice as a child of Light!

The Verdict!

John 3:19 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” Does anyone love darkness?  Abolutely!  Whenever one does what they know to be immoral or harmful or anything wrong and do not want to be caught, darkness is desired.  Darkness in life is NEVER good.  You and I have the blessed privilege of living in Light.  Let each of us enjoy living in our Savior’s Light!

serious truth

John 3:18 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” The difference in believing that Jesus is the Son of God and not believing that Jesus is the Son of God could not be greater.  The general opinion of our present culture is foolishness.  The thought is: it doesn’t matter what one believes–all are ok, maybe Jesus matters and maybe He doesn’t.  That thinking, though held by many, is absolutely false.  Jesus is our Hope.  Jesus is our Savior.  Jesus is our Strength.  Jesus is God’s one and only Son, the Savior of the world.  A very serious truth.

Why?

John 3:17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” The sole purpose of Jesus coming to this earth was to benefit you.  He knew His Heavenly Father demanded perfection and He wanted you to come before His Father in a suit of perfection.  None of us could represent ourselves.  We needed  an advocate.  God, Jesus, is our advocate.  It is impossible to be more blessed.  A forgiven, blessed, adopted child of God.  That is what you are.  Enjoy your great life! Have a great weekend.

The most popular verse

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This passage is the basis of Christianity.  It is written for all the world to read yet much of the world ignores its life saving truth.  You and I have heard many times—life is short, eternity is long.  Why would anyone ignore the future for the short pleasures of the present?  Believe.  Teach this wonderful truth to your children and grandchildren.
