Photophobic Generation: Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light!

John 3:19. Using Newton's Third Law of Motion, "for every action there is a reaction", i would add this: Reason and Consequence. I would call it the Law of Justified Consequence. It would be like this: For every Action there is a Reaction for a Reason, creating a Consequence. That's how Jesus defined condemnation: The Action: The Light has come into the worldthe Reaction: Men loved darkness rather than light; the Reason: Because their deeds were evil; the Consequence: Condemnation. Let's apply this "law" to the most known verse in the Bible, John 3:16. The Action: He gave His only begotten Son (salvation); the Reaction: Whoever believes in Him (faith); the Reason: God so loved the world (love); the Consequence: Should not perish but have everlasting life (eternal life). If you're asking what this verse has to do with "justified consequence", this is the answer: Romans 5:1. The eternal life is the "consequence" for being "justified by faith" in Jesus Christ, and justification is only possible because of God's love for humanity. In the end, salvation or condemnation will the "justified consequence" for everyone's action, salvation for those who believed and condemnation for those who didn't! As Jesus said in Luke 17:26-27, the wickedness was so great that it was "normal" to be wicked, only Noah's family was saved, because of Noah's faith. Noah was justified by faith! Are you loving the Light (Jesus Christ), John 8:12, or are you still walking in darkness?
