And THIS is the Condemnation

  11/21/17

^{John 3:19-21 KJV}

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.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The earth continues to spin on its axis, rotating between the light of day and the darkness that follows, as men forget that that darkness is temporary, at best, and will be replaced as light once more floods the surface, sustaining all life, providing the means for all that is necessary for the continuation of life itself.

That light, as intended, provides the means for the generation of air to be breathed, warmth enough to continue the cycle of rivers flowing to the sea to evaporate bringing clouds to distribute the precious liquid that is a part of that sustenance required for the existence of that life.

The cycle begun with the Creator speaking LIGHT into existence remains in place, despite the alterations made by man, and the artificial light that so often is heralded in its stead.

As God spoke that Light into existence, He saw that that Light was good, and divided it from the darkness.

LIGHT and darkness were and are forever divided from one another!

Where Light exists, darkness cannot as darkness itself is the absence of that very Light.

Men still attempt to validate the cover of darkness, attempt to attribute shades of their own to light, when there is no shade, but the reality of either the Light or the absence of that Light.

All that was Created by God began with that Light, and all that was or is good remains bathed in that Light.

All seen by God to be GOOD remains GOOD, all seen by God to be evil remains evil, despite the obfuscation of men who attempt to justify evil as good.

Scriptures given through the ages delineate the Truth of that Light given by God from the lie that constantly attempts to lead only further into the darkness preferred by a creature that refuses to recognize the difference between Light and darkness, despite an eternal separation of the two from the beginning.

Proverbs 22:6

⁶Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Children taught that minor infractions of law are negligible, and of no importance, in turn regard all law as negligible and of no importance, having no application to the offender, so long as he remains undetected, and of less importance if such a minor offence is detected, since the consequence of such minor infraction is also minor, and my be brushed off  without regard, to be forgotten, covered once more by the darkness rather than paying the price of having been brought to light.

Matthew 5:19

¹⁹Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

A recent event reveals the absence of LIGHT in a people who find no need to accept the consequence of decisions made, considered minor by both parent and child, neither considering the importance of an infraction of both the law of man, and that of God as well.

When such violation is touted to be of no importance, all violation is being touted as of  no importance, or consequence, to be covered once more by the darkness that is preferred by men, rather than the Light that demands repentance in return for redemption, both by men and God.

Though this  particular violation of a "minor law against shoplifiting" is so prevalent in the minds of men, there is no outcry against the violation of God's law as given, either for this instance or for the many violations that would attempt to justify themselves rather than admit to those violations.

Murder is still covered by the darkness, most often never exposed to the light, and if exposed done so with the convenient justifications given by men for violation of those laws given by men and God as well.

Each law given by God in the scriptures was given for the benefit of man, to separate the Light from the darkness, to separate what is Good from what is evil.

The penalty to be extracted for the violation of those laws is spelled out within those scriptures, being spelled out best, perhaps, in words of Promise and Warning given by Christ Jesus Himself, that remain as true today as when first spoken.

John 3:16-18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ 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.

That separation, the division of darkness and Light remain inviolable, despite any attempt made by man to shade the Truth of that Light as it was originally given.

What is taught in the homes of any society, becomes the "norms" for and of that society. 

These, too, are an ongoing separation between Light and darkness.

LIGHT has always, and shall always conquer the darkness that proliferates among the children of men, descendants of those who could not hide within the darkness, could not camouflage what was chosen by them despite what was provided them by the Light from the beginning.

Choice given those original predecessors remains choice for their descendants.

Free will to choose between LIGHT and darkness remains.

Choice to receive redemption through repentance, coming to that LIGHT, or to remain in the darkness remains for each despite what may have been taught in any home.

The LIGHT remains visible, even as the darkness approaches, and should be burned into the memory of those facing  a darkness, that is forever temporary for any remembering that the LIGHT is destined to return.

2 Timothy 1:12
King James Version (KJV)
¹² For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Amen and Amen
