John 3:16-19<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.\u00a0For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.\u00a0Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.\u00a0And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nA.W. Tozer<\/a><\/p>\nCHRIST CAME TO SAVE<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n
Millions who have rejected the Christian gospel have generally been too busy and too involved to ask themselves a simple question: “What really is God’s intention toward me”” They could have found the plain and simple answer given by the Apostle John: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved.” This is a gravely significant message from the heart of God Himself! Yet, even in the full light it provides, people are indifferent. Upon our eyes there seems to have fallen a strange dimness; within our ears, a strange dullness. It is a wonder, and a terrible responsibility, that we should have this message in our possession and be so little stirred about it! I confess that it is very hard for me to accept the fact that it is now very rare for anyone to come into the house of God, silently confessing: “Dear Lord, I am ready and willing to hear what you will speak to me today!”<\/p>\n
Tozer highlights a reality that many of us have personally experienced or observed in others\u2014a spiritual dullness and lack of perception. Before the Holy Spirit enabled us to recognize the depth of our own sin and the absolute holiness of God, we were spiritually blind and deaf, unable to truly comprehend God\u2019s Word. Although we might have read the Scriptures or listened to the message of Jesus Christ, real understanding remained out of reach until the Holy Spirit opened our hearts and minds. God\u2019s Word reveals His character\u2014His holiness, love, grace, mercy, power, and omnipresence. He knows every thought and intention within us. The Holy Spirit persistently seeks entry into every heart, but each person must make the choice to respond. The offer to accept Jesus Christ and receive salvation is always available, but it\u2019s up to the individual to open the door. Ignoring or refusing this invitation is a deliberate act. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit\u2019s prompting may be unmistakably strong, but over time, one can become so practiced in ignoring it that it seems to disappear altogether. The gravest danger lies in denying the consequences of rejecting salvation\u2014Hell and Torment, eternal separation from God. Today, the opportunity for salvation remains; do not disregard this call to eternal life.<\/p>\n
