John 3:18 ESV “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the Son of God.”
Many people have a hard time with Me because I allow people to go to hell. It is ironic, because many of these same people do not believe in hell, but that is a side point. The thing that is not understood is that hell is defined by the absence of anything good. No love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Imagine life with none of these, then take hope away and you have hell. Since I am all those things, it stands to reason that if you take Me away you will end up in a place void of all these things, which is hell. So, this verse makes sense.
I am not actively throwing people into hell because they defy Me or disagree with Me or refuse to bow down and worship Me. Instead, when someone chooses not to believe in Me even though the evidence of Me is clear and surrounds them every single day, then their choice is to live without Me and that, by definition, is hell. But hell is not available to anyone alive right now. You live in an in between place where I am there, evil is there, and you have the amazing ability to make a choice. You can choose Me, or you can choose “not Me”. These choices lead people to Me which is heaven and “not Me” which is hell.
Just because someone doesn’t believe in gravity or believes the earth is flat doesn’t change the truth about them. Just because science, in general, believes in itself instead of Me doesn’t mean this is true. If science truly behaved as scientists claim to behave – with empirical evidence and unbiased observation of how things really are – every single scientist would believe in Me powerfully because they see My handiwork every day.
They witness the miracle of creation every day, but many add a bias into every experiment and that is… “based on variable 1 and variable 2 and based on the fact that God doesn’t exist…my conclusion is this….”. Man build My lack of existence into the experiment which skews the results and makes them invalid.
Whether someone chooses to believe the truth or not…the truth remains. I am God and I am the source of all that you desire, love, and cherish. If you choose not to believe in Me and seek Me, you choose to turn your back on all that you desire and cherish. Eventually this leads to experiencing a lack of all you desire – which is hell.
I don’t say this to be mean. I say it out of love and kindness, so you can see the truth. I am God. I love you deeply! You were separated from Me through sin. I sent Jesus to reconnect us so we can have all eternity together. It is that simple.
It is truth whether you believe it or not.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I want to want to believe. Help my unbelief (Mark 9:24). Amen
