#143 - Joby Martin // Fraternity Houses & Forgiveness: What Condemnation Really Means

The Word of God serves as the sword of the Spirit, our primary spiritual weapon against evil forces. In John chapter 3, Jesus reveals He came not to condemn the world but to save it through belief in Him, offering us eternal life instead of the condemnation we deserve.

• John 3:16 contains the entire gospel in one sentence, declaring God's love and salvation plan
• Jesus came not to condemn but to save us from sin and God's righteous judgment
• Condemnation is the enemy's language, making us feel "unfit for use"
• Our sin against a holy God deserves punishment, but Jesus paid that price
• God is just (requiring payment for sin), merciful (delaying punishment), and gracious (making payment for us)
• Religious heritage alone cannot save us - only personal belief in Jesus can
• The ABC approach to salvation: Admit you're a sinner, Believe in Jesus, and Confess Him as Lord
