John || What’s Done in the Dark
John 3:18
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.
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.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:19
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5)
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Light = Illumination that provides revelation
John 3:19
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
Darkness = The domain of satan where sins go temporarily unpunished.
If you get your self understanding from the world, you will not ever know who you are before God.
John 3:20
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
- Their Works are evil.
- They don’t want this to be exposed
- Therefore, they love darkness.
- Therefore, they hated the light.
- So they don’t come to the light.
Unbelief at its root, is a love affair with denial and delusion
The addiction to the dark grows when sin is not exposed.
John 3:21
But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God”
But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God”
The heart of man is to blame for the guilt of not coming to Jesus.
The heart of God is to blame for the grace of coming to Jesus.
