Topic:
UNREPENTANCE BRINGS ETERNAL DOOM
MEMORIZE: He
who believes in Him 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 (John 3:18).
SCRIPTURE
READING: John 3:16-21
“For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved. 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.”
EXPOSITION:
God's
Provision for man's redemption is intact. However, it is man's responsibility
to accept the Gift. Redemption is for all, but salvation is
conditional-...whoever that believes in Him would not perish. Truly, the
gracious God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but
whosoever chooses not to believe in Him is already condemned (John 3:17-18 “For
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved. 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.”;
Rev. 20:15 “And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire.”).
God has
given His Life and Light but wouldn't force anyone to accept and follow Him
(Deut. 30:11ff). It is a matter of choice. Choosing to come to the Light pays
eternally than remaining in the darkness of Satan and hell. The implication is
that whoever doesn't believe will perish. That is where the rebellious and
scoffers miss it. The more a man delays his acceptance of the lordship of Jesus
Christ, the more he is postponing his looming evil day.
The truth is
that, you have power over your choices but not over the consequences. He who
chooses to live waywardly here and now, and refuses to repent till the rapture,
is doomed to face the consequences during the Millennial Reign and in eternity
in hell. Stubbornness in heeding God's call to salvation can lead to eternal
destruction in hell; surrender to God, NOW! An end will soon come to you,
either by death or by rapture; choose life in Christ so that you may live
eternally in God's kingdom. Don't wait for that to happen before trying to
repent!
PRAYER
POINT: Lord,
by your redeeming power, deliver the world from the power of sins and
wickedness in Jesus name.
