“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.”
Joh 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 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. 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. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 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.”
God gave a gift of eternal life to all who would believe. Eternal life with out pain, suffering, darkness and yet people will still choose to reject this gift. Judgement and condemnation awaits them. How true these words ring true still today-“people loved the darkness rather than the light” Share the gift of God and light of Christ each day. We never know when God will open a heart and mind to understand this gift. It is up to us to proclaim it and the promises of God for eternal life.
