Exposed by the LIGHT


John 3:16-21

There’s no “Gray” area with God!

  • Perish or external life
  • Condemnation or salvation
  • Don’t believe or believe
  • Do wicked things or true things
  • Live in darkness or in light

The Poison of Darkness

  • Darkness is to ignore God (v. 19-21)
  • Darkness is to want other things before wanting God (v.23)
  • Darkness is to sin and like it (v. 24 – 31)
  • Darkness is to reject truth (v. 25)
  • Darkness is to know right from wrong and choose wrong (v. 32)
  • Darkness is approving of other people’s sins (v. 32)

Here’s why it matters

People are already condemned.

  • People are already condemned
  • People love darkness
  • People hate the light
  • People fear being exposed
  • Our works (what we do) are already evil

Come to the LIGHT

  • God loves condemned people
  • Being exposed hurts
  • Believe, Trust
  • You’ll have a new life-doing what is true

John Piper: “Unbelief is our fault; belief is God’s gift”
