“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” - John 3:36

This chapter is where the famous verse that almost all Christians should know because it summarizes the whole meaning of the Gospel. Our verse today also came from John  3, which established a deeper thought or study of what John 3:16 means. This Gospel is actually written using very easy words for us to actually get it instantly. If we read the verse today, we will instantly understand that whoever believes in Christ will have eternal life and whoever rejects Him will not have it and will have the wrath of God on them. There’s no middle part, there’s no other way, but only this. 

However, as humans, as we are, we believe that we are wise and that we are knowledgeable in almost everything that we think we found a way out of. Yet, it is not true, we are utterly unredeemable. We cannot do anything to help ourselves. There’s nothing in this world that can help us. We deserve the wrath of God, and we deserve to die. Whatever we discover that we think can redeem us is not true. No matter how much we give out to charity, or no matter how much we give up our riches, we can never do enough good things to save our wretched selves. 

So, we need Christ to save us. The most important of being a Christian is to realize that we need a Savior. We can never appreciate the Word or the salvation of Christ if we don’t think that we need a Savior. We have to accept that we need a Savior because we are beyond redeemable. Now, since we need a Savior, we will then understand our verse today that if we believe in Christ, then we will have eternal. Thus, Christ is our Savior and He is the only way, the truth, and the life. Our eternal life comes from Him, and there’s no other way. 

Therefore, we have to read our verse over and over again today. We have to remind ourselves that there is no other way. The wrath of God was upon us until Christ took it all and poured it on Him. Now, the only thing we are going to do is to believe that He indeed did all of those for us and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. However, if we reject Him, the wrath of God remains in us and we will have no eternal life. We will die, and we will suffer eternal persecution and misery. So, we must always remember that we must accept Christ, not because we are afraid to die and suffer, but because we recognize that we really need a Savior and there is no other name but Christ-- our one and only Savior and Lord.

As we read the two books of Corinthians, we can realize that Paul was trying to correct, rebuke, teach, comfort, and even edify all the Christians in Corinth. The Corinthians were people who believed in Christ and who have lived their lives following Him through making Paul their inspiration as Paul imitated Christ. However, Paul also knew that most of them were still living according to their flesh and not totally submitting to Christ. After many rebukes that Paul wrote in his letter to them, our verse today is one of the encouragements of Paul. 

While Paul wrote this, he knew that his companions and he were all going to die and suffer. This also inspired him to write our verse today as a response to the burden that they were all carrying. It’s a way for them to be reminded and also to set their lives as an example to the Corinthians that although they are suffering, they are suffering for Christ and they are rejoicing while suffering. So, Paul wrote that God delivered us from deadly peril, He will then also deliver us again. In God, we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us. 

These comforting words are not just for the Corinthians, or as a way of Paul to remind himself that God will deliver them but this is addressed to all of us. Regardless of the time, the Bible is true and the Bible is always perfect no matter what the generation is or what century we are in. Thus, these comforting words are also for us to always be reminded that God will indeed deliver us always. He has sent His Son to deliver us from a deathly peril— from death that is caused by our sins. Now, as we continue to live our lives, let us be encouraged and reassured that in God, we have the hope and the confidence that He will always be there to deliver us. 

No matter what happens, no matter what, we will face, we have God backing us up. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, we are saved by grace through faith and His delivering power has been proved to us since the moment that He came into the world to sacrifice His own life for us. Thus, we can really say that He is our rock and our refuge. After all, He is our Savior, our Lord, our Comforter, and many more. Christ is everything we need and only in Him, we can find peace and true hope with the assurance that we are saved and we will be delivered from anything. Therefore, we must always remember to hold on to this encouragement and to rejoice always while we suffer for Christ. We are suffering for Christ, anyway, so let us find this joy in our hearts.
