Spiritual darkness is loved more than the Light of Jesus Christ

 “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19 

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and the masses around the world love the darkness more than light. The Light is seen in the Holy Bible and in the heart and spirit of people. However, the Light no longer shines in the churches, it is absent from the mind, heart, and soul of people, absent from government decision-making, absent from the educational system, and is absent in every sector of society. We live in a spiritually dark world.

It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:7-8

The “him” in the verse above is the beast behind the thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people, and by what they say and do they despise the Light of Jesus Christ. They love spiritual darkness. They are conformed to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” John 3:20 

Jesus Christ shines a light on sin and this world wants that light shut off. Sin is no longer acknowledged because a focus has been put on human dignity, self-esteem, and human respect. For example, the killing of the unborn is portrayed in a way as not to hurt anyone’s feelings as it is called, “Reproductive Rights.” Also, the LGBQT+ lifestyle is promoted through the “Respect for Marriage Act” so that human dignity and self-respect prevails. In other words, sin is not exposed, and the Light of Jesus Christ is hated. The world serves the creature human being and rejects God the Creator. No one is coming to the Light of Jeus Christ but instead thrives in spiritual darkness.

“But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:21 

As followers of Jesus Christ, we want people to see that it’s important for the human spirit to live in marriage with the Spirit of Christ. Being born again is something that can still happen in this world today, it has happened to me and to the faithful few around the world. We know the truth of the transformation that happens when people are changed by the remission of sin. We want people to know that God is alive today, Jesus Christ is still needed for the remission of sin, and the Holy Spirit still enables a life of Holiness to be lived. We still swear by the Gospel of Jesus, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
