God Does Not Condemn Us.

I was in bed last night talk with Melissa about love. When God told me "I have given her to you so that you may  experiences the same love I have for you". Just as I would give my life to protect her so did Jesus give his life to protect us. God does not condemn us to hell he seeks to protect us from it. Many Christians can quote John 3:16 to you. But few of us know what comes next.

Joh 3:16-19 KJV  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (17)  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  (18)  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  (19)  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

By turning away from God we condemn ourselves to hell.
