What Condemns,UNBELIEF Or SIN? by owoleola: 12:51am On Aug 23, 2017 |
So many people have run into this error thinking unbelief is what brings condemnation thereby making it appear as if Jesus Christ brought both salvation and condemnation.lets take a look at this: "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved". "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". (Jn3:17&18) One may be tempted to infer wrongly from the above passages,to mean that no one is condemned until they decide to reject the gospel,but that is not necessarily true. Sin(an inherited nature which must manifest through its fruits) brought condemnation to all,what belief does through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is to remove one from this condemnation but whats now the repercussion of unbelief,condemns just at the moment?........NO!...,unbelief leaves one in the condemnation inherited from the beginning. So UNBELIEF does not condemn,SIN already did,UNBELIEF only leaves one in that state of condemnation(having rejected the way out i.e belief). |

owoleola:1. What the passage you quoted instead reveals is that Jesus Christ came to save those previously condemned by God. 14 “Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too.As Jesus Christ explained, He is a bronze snake raised by God in the same way the bronze snake was raised in the wilderness after God had condemned the Israelites to death. Jesus Christ was raised by God to save those who were already condemned by God for their sins against Him among the Israelites. 2. Such an inference could only be made from ignorance of the truth as declared right in that same text by Jesus Christ. |
