WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED

This is the part of the Gospel missing from American Christianity:

Whoever believes in Him [Christ Jesus] is Not Condemned,
BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY
Because he has not believed in the Name of God's One and only Son.

This is the VERDICT: Light has come into the World,
But men loved DARKNESS instead of the Light
because their deeds were Evil.

Everyone who does Evil Hates the Light,
And will not come into the Light
For fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the Truth comes into the Light,
So that it may be seen plainly that what he has done
HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH GOD.
(John 3:18-21, NIV)

Let's look at these same verses from the Amplified Bible:

He who believes on him [Christ Jesus]--
Who Clings to, Trusts in, Relies on Him--Is not Judged
(He who Trusts in Him never comes up for Judgment;
For him there is No Rejection, No Condemnation;
He incurs No Damnation),

BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE
(Not Cleave to, Rely on, Trust in Him) Is Judged already;
(He has already been CONVICTED;
Has already received his SENTENCE)
Because he has NOT BELIEVED on and Trusted in the Name
Of the only Begotten Son of God.--
He is CONDEMNED for REFUSING to let his Trust rest in Christ's Name.

The [Basis of the] Judgment (Indictment,
The Test by which men are Judged,
The Ground for the Sentence) Lies in this:
That the Light is come into the World,
And people have loved the DARKNESS rather than
And more than the Light, for their Works (deeds) were Evil. [Isa. 5:20.]

For every Wrong Doer HATES (loathes, detests) the Light
and will not come into the Light,
But Shrinks from it, lest his Works—
His Deeds, his Activities, his Conduct--
Be EXPOSED and Reproved.

But he who practices Truth—who does what is Right--
Comes out into the Light;
So that his Works may be plainly shown to be what they are,
Wrought with God—Divinely prompted, done with God's help,
In Dependence upon Him.
(John 3:18-=21, AMP)

It is this reality expressed in John 3:18-21
That is missing from American Christianity.

Who Believes?
Only he who Clings to, Trusts in, and Relies on Christ Jesus and His Word,
As expressed through his Deeds, his Activities, and his Conduct--
That are done with God's help, in Dependence upon Him--
Giving God all the Glory.

EVERYONE else STANDS CONDEMNED!
CONDEMNED by whom? By God Almighty!
This is the Stark, Uncompromising Reality of the Word of God
That Apostate Christians try to obscure
Because they are Evil men and women, IMPOSTORS,
Going from Bad to Worse, Deceiving and being Deceived.
(2 Timothy 3:13)

We are living in the Last of the Last Day of Time,
Those who Refuse to Preach the Whole Gospel--
Who Preach only what Itching ears want to hear, are False Prophets.

Be always on the Watch,
And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
