LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT / JOHN 3:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT / JOHN 3:19

A basic characteristic of the wicked – those who reject Christ – is that they love darkness. This means that they take pleasure in immoral behaviors – theirs and that of others. They are not concerned about defying God’s standards of right and truth (Romans 1:18-32; Philippians 3:19; 2 Timothy 3:2-5; 2 Peter 2:12-15). Truly born-again persons are just the opposite (John 3:16). They love what is right and true and take pleasure in doing what pleases God (1 Corinthians 13:6). They hate wickedness (Hebrews 1:9) and feel a deep sense of sorrow when people reject God and defy His standards. They definitely do not take pleasure in the activities that encourage lust or the open display of ungodly behavior that is common in contemporary society (Psalms 97:10; Proverbs 8:13; Romans 12:9; 2 Peter 2:8; Revelation 2:6).
