Subject: John 3:16.. whoever believes not perish? |
Bible Note: Not at all! WE make the choice to believe or not believe. Believing in no way makes us deserve to go to Heaven. We are still as much sinners as those who do not believe. There is nothing we can do, or have done to deserve to go to Heaven. What god did was to, in advance say, "OK, I have two groups of people: those who'll believe in My Son and those who won't. So what I'm going to do, is that for all of those who choose to accept My Son, their sins will be paid for by My son's death and they will be with Me." And through Jesus, He gives US the choice which group to join; those who He has allowed to be covered by the blood of Jesus, or those who willfully reject it and are condemned. He predestined the group, not the individule. He has then said to us, "Now its up to you. Believe and be saved, do not believe and be condemned." He puts no one there, we do that ourselves.
