“God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it! John 3:17 TPT

One of the primary scriptures We learn in Sunday school is John 3:16 TPT, For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.

Everyone who has believed and received that gift is 100% guaranteed everlasting life. No if, ands or buts about it. Those words are in red, meaning Jesus himself spoke them.

In verse 17, He sets the record straight by telling us that the purpose wasn’t to judge and condemn the world but to be it’s Savior and rescue it. So why do I constantly hear Christians declare God’s wrath on the world? Shouldn’t we be in agreement with the Word?

We tend to twist His words to meet our standards, but there are no words that are higher than Gods Word. He loved the world enough to send His son so we could have an intimate relationship with Him.

No condemnation here. If they believe, I trust the Holy Spirit to lead them to the truth. If they’re hungry to know Him, He accepts them as they are. Change will come eventually because no one can live that close to the light and not see the clear path to Him.

But He loves them just as much as the rest of His own. Stop judging and condemning and practice loving. Love covers a whole lot of sin, and His grace is enough.

Don’t forget verse 17 today. Be the light He made you to be.
