Bible: John 3:18-19
Title: Condemned
.
John 3:18-19 ‘18. He who believes in him will not be judged, and he who does not believe has already been judged because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten of God. He loved darkness more.' - Amen.
.
God gave the world a reader as an alternative to save people's lives, but there are those who believe, but especially the Jews who got the prophecy, they distrusted and killed them. Let's take a look at what the Lord has to say about the spiritual condition of these unbelievers.

1. If you do not believe, what does it mean that you have already been judged?
.
Because God cannot find righteousness in man (Romans 3:10), he gave his only son to the world as a last resort, and he will judge him according to whether he believes or not.
.
Text John 3:18 “He who believes in him will not be condemned (Romans 8:1), but he who does not believe is already judged because he does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” So, if we compare a person who does not believe in Jesus, it means that he is living like a prisoner sentenced to death.
.
This does not mean that we should be separated from those who do not believe in our personal or social relationships, it means that believers should become spiritually fundamentally different. If that is not the case, it means that they cannot be mixed and separated, that is, they cannot become saints. So you confuse yourself. Those who disregarded distinctions were punished.

Kings 13:33 “Because Jeroboam made the common people priests of the high places, but whoever volunteered, he made them priests of the high places” (misunderstanding about Jeroboam’s priesthood)
1 Samuel 13:12 “Then I said, ‘The Philistines are coming down to Gilgal against me, and I have not asked the Lord for favor,’ so I made a burnt offering.” (Saul's Human Way)
.
Evangelism is the explanation of why unbelievers should believe.
Mark 16:16 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
If you ignore God's will, which is God's method, salvation through Jesus, and life according to the covenant through the rules of truth, you will be judged.

2. What is the condemned state of an unbeliever?
.
Beginning with original sin (Genesis 3:), human history is a global village marked by all kinds of crimes. It was said that God gave punishment for this. Text John 3:19 ‘The condemnation (κρ
