“ God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world. (Or translated: to judge the world; the same below), but so that the world may be saved through him
(John 3:16-17 Union Version)
A theologian said. , Faith is the ultimate concern of people. When people exist in the universe, there will always be times when they are confused and helpless, and there will even be despair when the sky is not responding and the earth is not working. At that time, they will think about what if there is a higher master. As long as it can help yourself. Faith is not only useful when you are in need, it becomes spiritual sustenance. The fact is that people often look for peace and stability in difficult and desperate situations. Sometimes I always feel that I am very capable and can do anything. Only when I encounter things beyond my ability do I realize the fragility and limitations of human flesh and blood. When people do not recognize the existence of God, it does not mean that they do not exist. God does not exist, and God’s existence will not change because of people’s comments. Whether or not you admit the existence of God does not cause any loss to God. The one who suffers the loss is yourself, shutting out an eternal love and grace. .
No matter what people’s attitude is towards God, God’s love for people will never change. He loves you with eternal love. He is like an old father waiting. The son who had been away from home for many years was looking forward to the wandering child returning to the arms of his heavenly father. In order to prepare a way home for the child who could not go home, God gave up his own son as a propitiation for sin. Man can escape the righteous fire and holy wrath of God, and the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has been sacrificed for this. Jesus said: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. ”
Now those of us who have been returned by grace are already members of God’s family. God is not far away, but our heavenly Father. We are His children, how blessed we are. There is a hymn about how blessed the children of God are. The lyrics are beautiful: How blessed are the children of God who can still be calm in the midst of pressure, still able to be leisurely in the midst of busyness, still able to laugh in the midst of failure, and still stand strong in the midst of persecution. There is hope, there is still care in the midst of indifference, there is still a way out in the midst of difficulties, there is still life in the midst of death. God's children are so blessed. God has given His children so much grace, and those who receive the grace of forgiveness of sins first do not have to do so. A high-profile way to condemn others.
Because God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world (or to judge the world; the same below), but so that the world could be saved through him. . Jesus came not for condemnation, but for salvation. Everyone is a sinner. Even now that we have received grace, we still cannot say that we are perfect. Instead, we must strive to pursue it. A sinful person is not qualified to judge others. Sin, because you are also guilty. Jesus is qualified to condemn, but Jesus does not condemn the woman caught in adultery. The people brought her to Jesus and said that according to the law, she should be stoned to death. He said: Whoever of you is without sin can stone her to death. All the people left one by one from the oldest to the youngest. In the end, only Jesus was left. Jesus could have condemned him, but Jesus did not. Jesus said I I won’t condemn you. Go back and don’t sin again.
Christians should not point their fingers at others, but should point their fingers back at themselves. Jesus has forgiven and forgiven all your sins. , do you still point to others? Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
? May you also understand God’s everlasting love for you.
