Један од најпознатијих библијских стихова је Јован 3:16, Јер Бог је толико заволео свет да је дао свог јединородног Сина, да ко год да верује у њега не би требало да пропадне, али имају вечни живот. Ово је разлог, why God sent His Son to the world. But it doesn’t stop here, there is more. However many Christians don’t talk about the Bible verses following John 3:16 because they are not so familiar with them as they are with verse 16. Међутим, Јохн 3:17-21 explains why God gave His only begotten Son and what it truly means to believe in Jesus Christ, so that you shall not perish but have eternal life.
Why Did God sent His Son to the earth?
God loved the world, and as result of this love, God sent His only begotten Son to the earth to save mankind.
Исус је дошао у обличју човека (од крви и меса). Jesus was born of the Seed of God instead of the seed of man. Therefore the sinful nature (зла) was not present in the flesh.
Међутим, Jesus was able to become disobedient to the words and the will of God and sin. Баш као Адам, who was perfectly created in the image of God, but had the ability to sin. Because why else did the devil tempt Jesus if Jesus couldn’t sin? (Ох. Јеврејима 2:14; 4:15).
Jesus had to come in the likeness of man and become a Partaker of flesh and blood. Зашто? Because otherwise Jesus couldn’t become a Substitute for fallen man and take the sin of the world upon Him and legally enter Hades to destroy the devil that had the power of death and deliver the prisoners of war and take them with Him.
And so Jesus came in the подобију човека and was tempted in all points, just as we are. Међутим, Исус није згрешио. Jesus remained faithful to God and executed His will (Јеврејима 2:14-15; 4:15).
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness and the people that believed and obeyed the words of God and looked at the serpent, wouldn’t die but live, so did Jesus Christ had to be lifted up. Тако да, the people that believe in Jesus Christ shall not perish but have eternal life (Ох. Бројеви 21:6-9, Јохн 3:14-15).
За Бога је тако волео свет, да је дао свој једини рођени сина, да ко год да верује у њега не би требало да пропадне, али имају вечни живот
Јохн 3:16
did God sent His Son into the world to condemn the world?
God didn’t sent His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. Jesus brought and manifested the Kingdom of God and call the people (of the house of Israel) to repentance and to believe in Him, Месија, so that they would not perish and go away into everlasting punishment but receive eternal life.
Salvation through Jesus Christ was first of all meant for God’s people (Кућа Израела). Међутим, after Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church (Тело Христово), нејеврејима је дошло спасење.
Jesus came to the earth to save mankind and not to judge mankind, since it was not His time to judge the world. Међутим, тhe time of His judgment will come on the Day of Judgment. (Ох. Маттхев 16:27; 25:31-46, Јохн 12:47-48, 2 Петер 2:9; 3:7, Откровење 20:11-15 (Прочитајте такође: На који суд је Исус дошао у овај свет?)
As long as Jesus has not returned and the Day of Judgment has not come, the people on earth still have the ability to be saved by faith in Jesus Christ and receive eternal life. Because Jesus still saves.
Jesus still gives eternal life to people, који верују у Њега. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done. Jesus showed His love for you on the cross. He gives everyone the opportunity to be saved and receive eternal life.
Јер Бог није послао Сина свога у свет да осуди свет; него да се свет кроз Њега спасе. Он верује на њега није осуђен: Али он који верује да већ није осуђен, јер није веровао у име јединог рођеног Божја сина
Јохн 3:17-18
God sent His Son into the world, that the world through Him might be saved
Људи који верују у Исуса Христа, син Божији, and believe in Him as Savior and put their trust in Him, shall listen to Jesus and obey His words and do His words in their lives.
By faith and регенерација у Христу, they have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness, where the devil is the ruler and reigns, у Царство Светлости, где је Исус Христ краљ и влада.
They shall no longer live in fear and condemnation. But because of the acquittal and redemption in Christ, they shall live in freedom. They’ll be free from sin and the bondage of the devil and death (Римљанима 6:16-22, Колошанима 1:13-14, Јеврејима 2:14-15).
Они знају, that by faith in Christ, which means that they believe and put their trust in Christ, they shall not be judged but receive eternal life.
That’s because they believe in the Word and the Word says, that whosoever believes in Jesus Christ shall not perish but receive eternal life (Ох. Јохн 3:16-21; 5:24, Римљанима 8:1).
You don’t just believe with words. The works you do in your life testify if you really believe in Jesus Christ and put your trust in Him and if you belong to Jesus or not. (Ох. Јамес 1:22-27; 2:14-26, Маттхев 5:16; 7:15-20)
People can say they believe in Jesus Christ, while they don’t put their trust in Him and are not saved.
Ви верујете, by believing and obeying the words of God and the words of Jesus, који потичу од Бога, и вршећи речи Божије in your life and standing on the Word.
“Зашто Ме зовеш Господом, Господе, али не чини оно што ја кажем?”
If you believe in Jesus the Christ, Син живог бога, and you love Jesus, you will submit to Him and do what He says.
Many Christians call Jesus their Lord, Али они не раде оно што каже. These Christians walk in pride and rebellion in the vanity of their mind. They rely on their own knowledge, мудрост, abilities, и увиде. They decide for themselves what is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong, and what you can do and what you can’t do.
These Christians do whatever they want and give their own interpretation of the Scriptures, so that they can persevere in sin. Њих није брига за вољу Божију, but they only care about their will. Али то не функционише тако у Царству Божијем (Прочитајте такође: Да ли да нађем веру на земљу?).
The people that don’t believe in Jesus Christ are condemned already
The people that don’t believe in Jesus the Christ (Месија), the only begotten Son of God, and don’t put their trust in Jesus, are already condemned and live in condemnation.
The condemnation is that the Light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light, јер су њихова дела била зла. And so their evil deeds testify that they love darkness rather than light.
The words of people don’t testify if they believe the Light and walk in the light. But the works of people testify whether they believe in the Light and have been transferred from the darkness into the light and walk in the light or not.
If people say they believe in Jesus, but walk in darkness, because of the evil works they do, then their wicked works (грех) testify that they love darkness rather than light.
The people that do evil and don’t live according to the will of God in obedience to His Word but live in unbelief and sin, hate the Light. They don’t go to the Light, and don’t abide in the presence of the people that belong to the Light and walk in the light. Зашто? Because they don’t want their evil works to be exposed and rebuked. they love their evil works and don’t want to repent and remove them from their lives.
Он верује на њега није осуђен: Али он који верује да већ није осуђен, јер није веровао у име јединог рођеног Божја сина. А ово је осуда, Та светлост долази у свет, и мушкарци су волели мрак, а не светлост, јер су њихова дела била зла. За свако ко зло мрзи светло, нити не долази на светлост, да не би поставили његова дела
Јохн 3:18-20
People that do evil hate the Light, but people that do truth come to the Light
Међутим, the people that believe in Jesus Christ the Way, истина, Светлост, и живот, and put their trust in Him and покајати се and through regeneration in Christ belong to Him, shall submit to Jesus and obey His words. Because they obey His words and do the truth, they go to the Light, so that their works may be made manifest that they are wrought in God and they belong to God.
They don’t live in unbelief and condemnation, but they live according to the Word and the Spirit in freedom in obedience to God and walk in the light, in the truth of God and shall come boldly to the throne of grace and live in communion with God the Father, Боже сина, и Бог Дух Свети.
Али онај који истине долази до светлости, да се његова дела могу очитовати, да су ковани у Богу
Јохн 3:21
„Будите сол земље’
