Prior to the wonderful message of John 3:16 we have the following verse that is devastating to the world that denies the true Christ that died for the sins of the world.
The Book of John
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.
So if you were to breathe your last breath and you claimed to believe in him but your lifestyle showed otherwise that is problematic in of itself. You see there are many religions in the world that claim they believe he really lived but they don't believe he is the son of the living God so they don't believe in him but there are also atheists that believe in atheism that there is no God or they are uncertain but there is a God of course because the fool has said in their heart there is no God. Men love darkness. But what is darkness apart from evil? God is Holy and not sinful at all. If you were to stand in front of him full of sin you would drop dead most likely in your current state of unbelief or full of sin unrepentant and unforgiven. A good example is ananias in the book of Acts 5:5
"Peter stated that Ananias had lied not to men, but to God. Because of his actions Ananias died on the spot and was carried out. Everyone who heard about the incident feared the Lord. Three hours after Ananias' death his wife arrived, unaware of what had happened." His wife dropped dead as well.
Do people lie to the Holy Ghost today? John 2:16 has been put on my heart countless times so yes as they have made the house of God into a den of thieves and that is just one problematic complication when looking beyond John 3:16.
The world is huge and not all nations are free and not all nations have the same democracy. One day when the New World Order comes it will not be a democracy but some sort of totalitarian regime. How can this come about if people in nations that are now free love the truth and hold to the truth then things would be different but they don't and God's word tells us exactly where it's going. Christ said if the world hates you know that it hated me first and like the prophets that were before you that were persecuted in essence if they don't accept my word they won't accept yours either. Men love darkness but not the God that created them. They'll fight tooth and nail to hold on to their corrupt lifestyle not realizing that comes judgment after this life. You see in a court system a criminal might pay 10, 20, 30 years but in hell it's more painful than you could ever imagine worse than any cancer on Earth and you cannot die. There's no water and the heat is excruciating. This is what happens when you disobey the God who created you with a reprobate mind and you despise the truth reaping the world. A lot of the lottery winners prove just like the celebrities that you can't follow two masters. The devil offered Christ the kingdoms of the world if he would fall down and worship him but we know greater is he that is in us that is in the world. What did Jesus tell him that it is written Thou shalt not tempt thy God and Only God shall thy serve. But many people tempt God all the time ignorantly. They take the name of God in vain like running tap water not realizing that God holds their future residency in his hands.
A little bit farther into the verse look what they asked John.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
It's God who opens up the eyes of the blind as Christ did on Earth and was accused of the Pharisees of using the power of Beezlzebub.
"In short, the Pharisees were accusing Jesus of sorcery, the practice of accessing the power of evil spirits for specific purposes."
What is the true religion according to the Book of James?
James 1:27, KJV:
Pure religion undefiled before God
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
My after notes and thoughts do you have a relationship with the true Living God who tells us he is the Almighty God of Israel. He is the God of the Hebrews. The Jesus of the Bible is the son of the Living God and that God is the almighty God of Israel. Moses freed the slaves for the Hebrew God. The works Christ did on Earth could fill volumes as they say and it shows us what's in store for those who truly love God. Are you saved and do you read the Bible and pray? Do you follow the ordinances of God or of the world?
