The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy
word.
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but
people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone
who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that
their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the
light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in
the sight of God.
John 3:19-21
This ends this reading from God's holy word. Thanks be
to God.
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son
so whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.
Thus, God did not send His Son to condemn the world but rather to save it.
That’s the truths we have learned in the past couple devotions
from John, Chapter 3, truths that carry with them pairs of options, one good
and one not so good.
Believe in Jesus and have eternal life. Reject Jesus and
perish.
Believe in Jesus and be saved. Refuse to believe and
receive condemnation and damnation.
In today’s scripture passage, we conclude these pairs of
options by adding one more. Look again at these verses:
This is the
verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of
light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light,
and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But
whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly
that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:19-21
Here we see that God’s people are either living in the
light or the dark. There is no middle ground.
How do you know which side you’re living on?
The scriptures tells us.
For on one side is living in evil, code for saying people
are choosing to live in sin and apart from Jesus. These people are living in
the dark and God’s word tells us that they love the darkness more than the
light, evidenced by their deeds with were defined by evil. These people will
always seek to do their acts in the dark because of concern their deeds will be
exposed.
On the other side are people who have received and
accepted Jesus as Savior, Jesus Himself representing the light that had come
into the world. People who are living in Christ and committed to living in
righteousness through Him, need not fear the light because the only things
exposed will be the great works Jesus is leading them to do. These people are Christ
believers who live in truth and have no fear of having what they do be in clear
sight of the Lord.
So where do you stand today?
Do you live in the light or in the dark?
The answer simply lies in whether you believe in Jesus or
not.
If not, then you are going to perish, condemned and
living in the dark.
If so, then you will have eternal life, saved from
destruction and living in the light.
It’s been said that life is all about choices. That
certainly is the case when it comes to salvation. My prayer is that you will
come to the light and accept the offer of everlasting life through Jesus if you
still have yet to do so. For the dark has nothing for you except doom and ruin.
Amen.
In Christ,
Mark
