ST. JOHN 3:18-21
(18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
COMMENTARY:
Brethren in the Lord, in this context Jesus, spoke of himself as the light of the world; that all men should believe in him for eternal salvation.
He is the light of this world, but men love and dwell in darkness which cover up their evil deeds for there is no light shinning among them; true believers in Christ dwell in light, and their deeds are known because they are children of the most High God.
(Matthew 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Furthermore brethren, when we believe in Christ our Lord and Savior; we belong to him and are not condemned: his blood already cleansed us from all unrighteousness through his forgiveness on the Cross of Calvary.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
CONCLUSION:
Brethren in the Lord, Jesus, is the way, truth and light; he was sent into this world not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Therefore, let us trust and believe in him; pray to the father through him, and read his word everyday. He will surely abide with us till the end of days!
Amen and Amen!
