JOHN 3:19-21 'And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world (Jesus), and men loved darkness (sin) rather than light (Jesus), because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil (sin) hateth the light (Jesus), neither cometh to the light (Jesus), lest his deeds should be reproved (found out). But he that doeth truth cometh to the light (Jesus), that his deeds may be made manifest (proven), that they are wrought (followers) of God.' (KJV) It is quite obvious that those who are living their life away from Jesus--their life and actions and deeds they do show that he (Jesus) is missing in their life. They pay no attention to God's disapproval of their deeds--as they keep on doing them. The more they do them the worse they get, disobeying God's word--even if they do not know it--is sin.
Once they come to realize this, they hopefully will want to change their lack of a relationship with God to a new relationship with Him, through Jesus Christ.
This change in their life brings them to the Light (Jesus) and the change that comes upon them will prove that they are in God and followers of Jesus.
JOHN 3:18 states 'He that believeth on Him (Jesus) is not condemned (which means they will have eternal life) but he that believeth not (on Jesus) is condemned already (sinned) because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jesus) and will not go to heaven but he will be sent into the everlasting pit of fire.
As we can see, these Scriptures are or should be very serious to all people.. Their eternal life with Jesus or in Hell with Satan stands with what decision they make--before death. After death, their decision cannot be changed.
Let us all work hard to see them saved before it is too late for them.
What is your decision? Just Thought I'd Ask
