No Condemnation!

Hello everyone,

Nicodemus was astonished at all that Jesus said to him about being born-again. Many of us think when a person isn’t born again, he sins terribly, but the truth is that there are those who are not born again who do not even carry out any sinful activities, these people still have the sinful nature as their spirit, in other words, they need to be upgraded to a new level. Nicodemus, for example, was a Pharisee who according to societal standards was the best you could get when it came to keeping the law of God, but Nicodemus wasn’t living the brand new life, thus had the sinful nature.

As John 3:13-15 says, “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus came from heaven to establish a brand new life, and it is only through Him that we can gain access to the brand new life. John 3:17 says, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” Jesus didn’t come to condemn us, because it won’t make any sense for Him to condemn us, our entire lives we doomed, we didn’t choose to have the sinful life because we were born with it. But now that the way out of this sinful life is at our disposal, it is then left to us to leave the sinful life and be translated into the brand new life Jesus brought to us.

John 3:18 says, “He who believes in Him [Jesus] is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Now, some may think that since the solution to this sinful nature is available then they would be condemned by God because they chose not to believe the Son of God, but that is not the case here when Jesus spoke on condemnation, John 3:19-21 made it clear what the condemnation means, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because of their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

The truth is that we are the ones who condemn ourselves and not God because God has provided the solution, so it is left to us to choose what path we want to take, this is why the Sons of God should always be alert and active, ready to explain and show the world why there is a new life and why we need it to survive, because left to man there is no reason to change from what he is comfortable with, which is why the Sons of God need to well-grounded in the Word of God to enable everyone see the reason why they need the new life in Christ to survive. God is not a mean God, He is the very loving being, but cannot force us to do a thing without us choosing to do so, but He is always there to guide us, it is just left to you to listen and obey.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
