Faith That Gains Eternal Life
(John 3:16-21)
Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim
God
is the only Father.
Since He
is impartially just, He judges with justice (Ps 89:14).
God sent His only begotten Son to the world
to show His righteousness.
Those who believe Him gain eternal life (Jn 3:16),
but those who do not believe Him are already judged (Jn 3:18).
God showed His righteousness through light
and Jesus Christ came as light (Jn 8:12).
Therefore,
those who believe come to the light,
but those who do not believe hate and dislike the light (Jn 3:19-21).
God’s light is glory and the light of heaven (Jn 1:14).
Darkness is the world and the shadow of death (Rom 5:12-14).
Accordingly,
the baptism we receive transfers us from darkness to glory
and the spirit from death to life (Rom 6:1-7).
The darkness of hades was already judged.
The devil was cast from heaven and is confined there until
the day of punishment (Jud 1:6).
○ God loved the world
so that He could bring us from hades to heaven
and save us from the punishment of those who will be judged.
○ To do this, the only begotten Son sacrificed Himself
and made atonement by shedding blood. This blood is heaven’s glory and
the glory of the only begotten Son. It is full of grace and truth.
○ If they love the light, they will gain eternal life,
but if they hate the light, the only thing ahead is
their spirits to enter hell, since they are already judged.
※ Receive eternal life.
This is why you should believe Jesus.
It is entering the light of glory.
