16 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. John 3:16-17 (KJV)
I know some of the post I have posted lately on Facebook could easly be misinterpated as being comdemning. The post I have posted about the Sinful Nature, have been posted not to condemn anyone, but posted to bring to light that we don't have to be in bondage to the Sinful Nature.
For in John 3:16 The Bible tells us that for God so love the world (you), that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever (if you) believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish (die), but have everlasting life.
( When we put our believeth in the Son of God, Jesus Christ and The Cross as to all he did for us there, we can then allow the Holy Spirit of God to lead us away from the Sinful Nature.)
Now in John 3:17 the Bible says that, For God sent not his Son (Jesus) into the world to condemn the world (you); but that the world (you) through him might be saved.
(In this passage of scripture, God, is telling us that, Jesus, came not to condemn us, but he came to be our sacrifice) The defination of Sacrifice in the passage is:
The act of giving up, destroying, permitting injury to, or forgoing something valued for the sake of something having a more pressing claim.
Jesus, being the only begotten, Son Of God, was of great value to him, but God, seen then and still sees now, all mankind, and that encludes you and I as something having a more pressing claim.
And Jesus, knowing the love of The Father, for his creation, of mankind in his image, and then because the fall of man, was willing to come, and to be the perfect sacrificial lamb, and to take way the sinful nature of mankind, if we, will be willing, to freely, accept him as Our Lord and Saviour.
The second half of this verse does not say, the world (you) wll be saved because God gave his only begotten Son, but is says that the world (you) might be saved. The defination of MIGHT in this passage is:
Used to express possibility or probability or permission in the past
It takes action on each individules part, as to choose or reject Jesus Christ as their personal saviour, and developing a personal relationship with him.
The Holy Spirit, will never, force anyone to do anything against their will.
The Holy Spirit, will speak, to their heart and when he does it is then up to the individual to make their choice, as to receive or reject the salvation that is being offered at the time.
I will close this entry today by telling you: God, loves you, right where you are. He sent Jesus to be your saviour and he is offering you the promise (indication, as of a successful prospect or future; basis for expectation) of eternal life to be with him in Heaven, if you will by faith believe and receive Jesus as your personal saviour.
