For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 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: 17-18)
As we read the four Gospels of the New Testament of the Bible, we are reading about the same Jesus that Judas Iscariot knew for more than three years. In so doing, we are also reading the same words of Jesus that Judas Iscariot heard more than two thousand years ago.
By rejecting Jesus, however, Judas Iscariot also rejected God: because the Son and the Father are one.
Furthermore, by rejecting God, Judas Iscariot also rejected the love, mercy, and grace of God the Father.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hated the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (John 17: 19-20)
Judas Iscariot loved darkness rather than light.
Judas Iscariot chose to do evil because he hated the light.
Judas Iscariot never came to the light lest his deeds should be reproved.
The men who killed Jesus had the same minds and the same hearts as Judas Iscariot: they loved darkness rather than light, and they also hated the light.
When people continuously reject the truth of Christ, they inherit the mind of Judas Iscariot: they love darkness rather than light, and they also hate the light. In so doing, they also become like the men who killed Jesus, for they have killed Jesus in their hearts.
The men who killed Jesus also knew the truth of the Lord's resurrection: for then they began to murder the people who believed in Jesus. For if they had truly believed that the Lord was still dead, they would have dismissed the believers of Christ as lunatics, or crazy people.
The Holy Spirit reveals the truth of Christ to people, and when people reject Christ, they also reject the love, mercy, and grace of God. And by their rejection of Christ, they will continue to hide in their religion, for religion is darkness rather than light. There, they will continue to cling to their dogmas and doctrines, rites and rituals, for they believe that their religion is more powerful than Christ: at which time their minds become like the mind of Judas Iscariot, and they become masters of deception: for they want others to believe how wonderful they are because of their religious arrogance.
When people say they believe in God, yet they reject Christ, their belief in God is amiss: for the Son and the Father are one; therefore, people cannot have one without the other.
When people say they pray to God, yet they reject Christ, their prayers to God are also amiss: for the Son and the Father are one; therefore, because their prayers are not in the name of the Son, their prayers are amiss.
Satan is the lord and the god of man's religions; therefore, when people reject Christ, yet cling to their religions, their faith is in Satan and not in Almighty God: for religion is the house of darkness, and not the house of light. It is in the house of darkness where people are deceived, and by their own rejection of Christ, they become deceivers, just like Judas Iscariot, and they also become like the men who killed Jesus.
Judas Iscariot believed he would get away with thirty pieces of silver, but he never believed that he would face the judgment of God.
The men who killed Jesus also believed that they would get away with their murder of the Lord and not face the judgment of God.
Likewise, when people reject Christ, they do not believe they will face the judgment of God.
As for Judas Iscariot, his only interest in life was for himself.
As for the men who killed Jesus, their only interest in life was for themselves.
When people reject Christ, their only interest in life is for themselves.
Consequently, self-love is a consuming fire, destroying people from within. For when people love self, they become an idol unto themselves, for their only interest is in pleasing self: for the love of God is not in them because they have rejected the only begotten Son of God, who is Christ Jesus the Lord.
