Many teach an easy believism so they focus only on John 3:16 and they don’t bother to read and include the rest of the passages . This idea of easy believism excludes God doing anything in the sinner to change their nature by the washing in regeneration by the Holy Spirit ( Titus 3:5 ). This is so wrong on so many levels, the end result is a false conversion, for only God can save the sinner by His Grace . Then they say everyone goes to Heaven and there is no such thing as hell and that God is all love and would never send anyone to hell. Then you ask yourself , why would they teach salvation this way , well we have false Gospels out there, say this prayer and you are in, walk the isle and you are saved , ask Jesus into your heart and you are good to go.
This brings in more questions, why are they propagating a false gospel ? Dishonest gain and control over the people. Is this to make certain people rich ? We have to be in the scriptures everyday and in prayer , we need to learn discernment, to know the truth as God has reveled to us in scripture from error . Jesus gave a good explanation to Nicodemus in John chapter 3 , about being born again and this is done by the Holy spirit and describes this using an analogy of the wind, the wind blows where it wills, you can see the effects of the wind, you don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going and you cannot control the wind, so is everyone who is born of the Spirit , for it is all of God and you have no part in it .
A Transformed life by God will be evident , they will not be who they used to be, they will hate their once cherished sins, they will see clearly what sin is before a Holy God . They have newness of life and desire to live a Holy life and to live Righteously and they love the Lord Jesus Christ and they love the Word of God and they desire to grow and mature to be more like Christ . They will deny themselves , take up their cross and follow Christ , even if it will cost them their life. For they know that they belong to Christ . You will know them by the fruit they bear and how they live .
John 3 : 16 – 21
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light lest his deeds be exposed. 21 But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been done by God.”
