Romans 12:2-3 "Do not perform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test what God's will is -his good, pleasing and perfect will. Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."
John
3: verses 19,36 "Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness
instead of light because their deeds were evil."
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the
Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
