COVID is not Judgment


 I have seen a lot of posts referring to COVID-19 as God’s judgment on us.   So I thought I would share my thoughts on this as well.  

John 3:16-17 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."

Ahhh “THE” scripture that most know, even nonbelievers are familiar with John 3:16.  However, I want to take our focus to verse 17.   

Jesus came to have relationship with us. Not to condemn us. If someone is "condemning" you or passing "judgment" on you it makes it difficult to build a loving relationship. I'm mean seriously who wants to be in relationship with someone who is always condemning/judging you. I know I don't!
Jesus took too much on the Cross to shame us, threaten us, scare us, or manipulate us into a relationship with Him.  

Don’t get me wrong, one day, each one of us, Believers and Nonbelievers will stand before God and be judged.  It’s just not today.
