When Jesus came to earth, it was not to judge and pronounce sentence on mankind. His mission was to redeem those dying in their sin ...
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:17)
Jesus established a new covenant based on faith, His final peremptory ultimatum ...
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
What you do with Jesus determines where you'll spend eternity.
Phillips - A man who has a disease that a few injections can cure, but who refuses to take the injections and consequently dies of his disease, has no one but himself to blame. He spurned the remedy. What followed in his life was the inevitable outworking of law, of cause and effect. The same is true of sinners. The judgment they reap, by rejecting Christ, they bring on themselves. Christ came to offer eternal life. They chose death.
If you've yet to receive Him, do it now.
The Promise ... If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Walk in freedom ... Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
Study your Bible. Pray often.
