"The Basis of Judgment"

 

“The Basis of Judgment”

 

“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him.  But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in God’s One and Only Son.”    John 3:18

 

The TRUE BELIEVER, the one who BELIEVES in JESUS CHRIST, and ACCEPTS His SACRIFICAL GIFT of SALVATION, will not face JUDGMENT of their sins, because their sins are FORGIVEN, and NEVER again REMEMBERED.  Jesus died on the cross ONCE and FOR ALL, so that ALL those who will BELIEVE that He IS the Son of the LIVING GOD, and will ACCEPT Him as their SAVIOR and LORD, might have FORGIVENESS, and an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. 

 

However, those who CONTINUALLY REJECT Him and His Gift of SALVATION, are ALREADY JUDGED for NOT BELIEVING in Jesus.  And they stand CONDEMNED to spend an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there.  So, the ONLY WAY out of the JUDGMENT is to ACCEPT JESUS as your SAVIOR and LORD. 

 

The BASIS of this JUDGMENT is the fact that, God’s LIGHT, JESUS CHRIST, came into this world, but the people REJECTED IT, because they were EVIL and they LIVED in the DARKNESS, and they LOVED the DARKNESS more than they loved the LIGHT.  They HATED the LIGHT and REFUSED to go near it, because they feared their SINS would be EXPOSED.  And they DESIRED to CONTINUE in their WICKED deeds. 

 

But the TRUE BELIEVER, who has ACCEPTED the LIGHT, and LIVES by the Spirit of God that indwells them, will come to the LIGHT so others might see their GOOD DEEDS and GLORIFY GOD.  They are still SINNERS, but they are REDEEMED SINNERS, and because of their ACCEPTANCE of JESUS CHRIST, and the DESIRE to LIVE by the SPIRIT of GOD, they will NOT be JUDGED nor CONDEMNED to an ETERNITY of DOOM.  Are you LIVING in the DARKNESS or have you COME to the LIGHT?  Will you face JUDGMENT and CONDEMNATION, or will you RECEIVE the CROWN of LIFE and an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS?

 

In order to ESCAPE JUDGMENT, and CONDEMNATION, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, and that you NEED a SAVIOR.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY from LIVING in the DARKNESS and COME to the LIGHT, by TURNING TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and become a TRUE BELIEVER who STANDS REDEEMED and NOT JUDGED nor CONDEMNED.  So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
