“’For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish, but have eternal life. For God
did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world
should be saved through Him.
“’He who believes in His is not
judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light is
come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for
their deeds were evil.
“’For everyone who does evil
hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be
exposed. But he who practices the truth
comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in
God.’” John
3:16-
In
Genesis 1:1 to 6:2 we have discovered the foundations of many sins, including:
a fear of not having power, lying, lust to own or have, justification of
position, misuse of God’s gifts, blaming others, pride, refusing
responsibility, murder, polygamy, mocking God, self-reliance and horrors of
sexual sin. No wonder God’s heart was
tired and very sad.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
