If Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, then why does the world stand condemned? And why is it that people, again and again, apart from saving grace, choose to harden their hearts, to have stiffened necks, and to rebel against God, the God who made them, and His son, Jesus Christ?

00:00:00 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Verse 17, the question is now
00:00:30 begged. If Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, then why are so many condemned? To read verse 17
00:00:38 once more so that it's fresh in our minds. The Bible says this, for God did not send his son
00:00:43 into the world to condemn the world. Why? Because the world was perfectly capable of doing that for
00:00:49 itself. We don't need Jesus to come to the world in order to produce condemnation. Humanity was
00:00:59 perfectly capable of condemning ourselves all on our own. I believe it was Edwards, Jonathan Edwards,
00:01:08 who once said that man contributes nothing to his salvation, but the sin that made it necessary.
00:01:15 if there's anything that people can do and do all by themselves without any of god's help
00:01:23 it's gain for themselves a just condemnation it is to ensure for themselves that they will indeed
00:01:33 perish for god did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but in order that
00:01:40 the world might be saved through him. If Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, then why does
00:01:46 the world stand condemned? Because the world has condemned itself through its own unbelief.
00:01:55 And why is it that people choose unbelief? Why is it that people again and again left to themselves,
00:02:03 apart from saving grace choose to harden their hearts, to have stiffened necks, and to rebel
00:02:10 against God, the God who made them, and his son, Jesus Christ, who is the only Savior? And the answer
00:02:19 to that question is because the world, humanity, apart from God's saving grace, we choose to hate
00:02:27 God precisely because we love our sin. We love our sin.
