John 3-4 = today's thoughts

John 3-4 = today's thoughts

 

I noticed something around one of the most famous verses of the bible today that I hadn’t really ever noticed before.  It is one of the things that makes re-reading scripture so enjoyable.  In John 3:18 it says that “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already,…”  Isn’t it interesting that believing in Christ opens the door to Heaven, but not believing in Christ doesn’t really change anything.  What I mean by that is without Christ we are all without hope anyhow, so since we are already with out hope deciding to reject that hope doesn’t change anything.  However, Believing in Christ changes everything.  It sounds so simple, believing is all that is required.  Yet while it seems so simple to those of us that believe, Millions and millions, tens and hundreds of millions who hear, resist and are lost. They are however, already lost and their disbelief doesn’t change their direction.  It is why we must be ever more vigilant in communicating the truth in relevant ways. The only hope people have is that they believe. 

 

Have a great day.
