Re: Judgment, Righteousness, Convicts, Condemned, Evil, Sin Nature etc
On the issue of evil, you are aware about sinful and the sin nature. Thus we are all wicked, depraved, evil sinners from conception, as all (but Christ) have been born through the Adam's line of the human race through their father. So all sin and do what is evil. All go follow their own way.
Judges 21:25 :
"In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes."
If Jesus isn't the King on the throne of their life, then they think they are on the throne, but I reality it is Satan, for theyre trapped in the sin nature, and until the Redeemer rescues and restores them, they're lost in the darkness and hellbound by default.
John 3:16-21
"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. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 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. 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. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."
John 16:8 "And He, [The Holy Spirit] when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment."
Mark 1:15
Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe in the gospel."
Those saved follow Jesus. They love God, obey Him, seek to do His will not theirs, and focus on growing in the faith, and storing up treasure in Heaven.
As Christians our goal is to lead the lost to Christ, to be born again by God, through the Gospel. And to proclaim truth, regardless of whether the rest of the people reject it. Those who die in their sins are responsible for those crimes and will be held accountable by God. Those who come to Christ, had their sins paid by Christ back then on the cross. Believers are responsible to proclaim the message, and live holy lives.
I hope this helps
