This is really something to take in. This is us. It didn’t have to be. Verse 19 got me! I could have been condemned. I could have loved sin.

John 3:
16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that every one who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18. He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe has been condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the unique Son of God.
19. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
20. For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.
21. But he who does the truth comes to the light so that his deeds may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
