This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
(John 3:19-21 (NIV))

How many times have we heard

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)

Even this verse that we all know and quote has teachings that follow it. These are not easy teaching. God does truly love the world. He proved it through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, but it is for man to accept this gift. God does not force this or anything on anyone who does not wish it. Those who have evil in their hearts will not accept this gift since it goes against what they desire in this life.

It is our responsibility as believers to be God’s light in this world and shine on those who are rejecting it and pray that they will come out of the darkness and into the light.

Are you letting your light shine?
