“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. [John 3.18]
Jesus explained a sad truth here. Those who do not believe in Him have already been judged.
Although it is hard for us to conceive how judgment could precede the crime, it is very much a reality in the timelessness of God's Kingdom.
A person who has not believed in Jesus is living in judgment. Because of the sin of Adam, all mankind is born into sin and therefore judgment. The way of the world is judgment. That is why we don't see the world getting better but getting worse.
But the fact remains that Jesus offers salvation from judgment to any and all who believe.
Then, the job of all who believe is simply to plead with others to believe. It is that simple.
Father, help me to remain focused on the job I have been given of rescuing people from judgment.
