19)And this is the
condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather
than light, because their
deeds were evil
20) For every one that doeth
evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his
deeds should be reproved
21) But he that doeth truth
cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made
manifest, that they are
wrought in GOD
|
THIS IS THE
CONDEMNATION
This is the cause of
condemnation: or the reason
why men are punished.
that light is come- Light
denote JESUS CHRIST
enlightened the mind of men
in the knowledge of truth ,
instruction, teaching,
doctrine, all instruction that
GOD gives us through
revelation is called light.
This light is come into the
world: that signifies GOD
reveling merciful counsel for
our salvation that lead to
eternal life
BUT
MEN LOVE DARKNESS:
They preferred, chose and
adhered to their ignorance
and error, before the light of
life, the saving knowledge of
the gospel
Darkness is the emblem of
ignorance, iniquity, error,
superstition and unbelief
BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS ARE
EVIL
So men who are wicked
prefer false doctrine and
error to the truth, the vice
and the lust of men are the
work of darkness, the fruit of
their ignorance and error; an
they are so happy with carnal
corrupt nature, that to enjoy
them securely and reject the
light of the gospel; this
increase their sin and
condemnation.

SATAN THE ENEMY OF THE
WORLD
GOD PLACE SPIRITUAL
BARRIER BETWEEN SATAN
PEOPLE AND GOD’S PEOPLE
This is GOD”S plan of
redemption for the world,
and predict ultimate victory
for human kind over Satan
and evil by prophesying of
spiritual conflict between the
“seed” of the woman(i.e the
LORD JESUS CHRIST and the
“seed of the Satan and his
followers
GOD promise that JESUS
CHRIST would be Born of a
woman ( ISAIAH 7:14) and
would be bruised through his
crucifixion, yet he will rise
from the dead to completely
destroy that is (bruise Satan,
sin and death for the sake of
salvation of human raise :
Ø The seed (offspring)
of the Devil refers to
the ungodly men and
women upon earth,
and the seed
Ø There are two seeds
upon earth, two
offspring:
Ø Those who follow
after righteousness
and those who follow
after unrighteousness
Ø Those who follow the
way of GOD and those
who follow after self
and devil
Ø Those who follow
after good of GOD,
and those who follow
after sin and evil of
the devil
Ø Those who follow
after GOD and those
who go after devil
The godly seed of the
woman is in struggle against
the ungodly seed of the devil,
is a conflict against the godly
and ungodly, between the
good and the bad upon the
earth
There is a godly humanity
and ungodly humanity upon
the earth, and there will
always be.

THE WORLD CANNOT HATE
YOU: You profess no
principles in opposition to
the word, they belong to it,
they are not regenerated,
renewed and sanctified,
They walk according to the
course of the world, wicked
men not only take pleasure
in sin, but in them that do it.
Because JESUS testify of it,
that the works thereof are

unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world; he that
followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have
the light of life

JESUS THE TRUE LIGHT
JESUS is the true light, he
removes darkness and
deception by illuminating,
the right way to GOD and
Salvation. Everyone who
follow JESUS are delivered
from darkness of sin, the
world and Satan
HE THAT FOLLOW ME
That adheres to ,and
continues to learn of JESUS
CHRIST that imitates my
example, and is governed by
the word of the Spirit, shall
not walk in darkness- that
ignorance or error, sin , false
doctrine, but shall have the
light of life
Those who walk in darkness
do not follow him, who ever
keep on following shall have
light of life.
He that humble follow me,
closely , steadily follow me
shall have the divine light
continuing shinning upon him
and guide to everlasting life.
Darkness of evil will never
overcome GOD’S light, JESUS
is the creator of life and his
life bring life to man kind,
when we follow JESUS we
can avoid walking blindly and
falling into sin.
He lights the part ahead of
us so that we can see how to
live, he removes the darkness
of sin from our lives and
allow the light of JESUS
CHRIST to shine into our life
so that we don’t stumbled in
darkness

I AM COME A LIGHT IN THE
WORLD
This verse is a strong
confirmation of his equality
with GOD, he who saw
JESUS saw him that sent

LIGHT
Men and women before they
believe in JESUS CHRIST they
are in darkness, in sin,
ignorance, error, worldliness
guilt, unbelief and
unregenerate
But when they believe in
JESUS CHRIST they are
translated out of their sinful
state of darkness into a
marvelous light and no more
abide in darkness.

34) Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth; I
came not to send peace , but
a sword
35) For I am come to set a
man at variance against his
father, and the daughter
against her mother and the
daughter in-law against the
mother –in –law
36) And a man’s foes shall be
they of his household

THINK THAT I AM COME TO
SEND PEACE:
It is true that JESUS CHRIST
came to bring peace
between the believer and
GOD, but JESUS CHRIST
coming is conflict- between
JESUS CHRIS and ANTI
CHRIST, between light and
darkness, between JESUS
CHRIST children and the
devils children, which can
occur even between member
of the same family
I came, not to send peace,
but sword, which is the
doctrine, which is to divide
and separate the people of
JESUS CHRIST who are
regenerated from the men of
the world and from their
principles and practice, which
is filled with selfish desire
and lust.
The coming of JESUS CHRIST
and the proclamation of the
Gospel will bring division by
separating the believer from
sinners and the world, the
proclamation of GOD’S word
and its truth will bring
opposition, division
