Condemned

John 3:18-19 – 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. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

John 5:24 – “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

John 1:4,18 – In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind…No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Application:

• ·         “Has crossed” means the decisive action has taken place, and the believer belongs no longer to the realm where death reigns supreme but to the realm of life.
• ·         “The one and only Son, who is Himself God” is an explicit declaration of Christ’s deity.
• ·         He is the “light of the world”, who holds out wonderful hope for humanity and for the creation.
