John 3: 14-21 – Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
This is all very simple. Jesus asks, simply, that we believe in Him, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that He arose from the dead on the 3rd day…. and for this; He grants us ‘life everlasting, in Heaven, with the Holy Trinity. If we choose not believe, then we will have everlasting life in darkness…. Out of the sight of God.
…Blessings, as we all… seek the will of God….cjlb…3/12/2018
