In this concluding message on Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we examine John 3:17–21 and the purpose of Christ's first coming. Jesus explains that He did not come to condemn the world, for the world already stands condemned. Instead, He came so that sinners might be saved through Him.

This sermon explores the distinction between belief and unbelief, why fallen humanity loves darkness rather than light, and how genuine faith is demonstrated by coming into the light rather than fleeing from it. The passage concludes with a pastoral exhortation for believers to continue walking in the light as the evidence of God's transforming work.
