"Know John 3:16 great, Know John 3:36 ?"


 
Know John 3:16 great, Know John 3:36 ?

Why is 3:36 so less well known that 3:16?  Is it less true?  Is it harder to swallow?  Is it not as pretty?  Is it not as nice?  Is it less attractive?  Is it a truth that no one wants to talk about?  Is it the truth no one wants to face?  Is the whole counsel of God’s Holy Word no longer important to be taught or presented especially To the Unsaved “World”?  Are Sport fan crowds unable to look up 3:36?

Milk: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Meat: John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

For the “many paths lead to heaven crowd”, and the “Jesus is not necessary group”; I’ve got some bad news for you; Not Good News, but Bad News; the wrath of God abideth on you. Wrath not Love is on you!  Will Jesus ask us why we did not WARN anyone?  Where was the alarm bell?  Will he ask us why we only enjoyed, liked, and preferred to preach, teach and talk about 3:16 ?  Will he ask us, “Hey what happened to 3:36?  Did you not love them enough to warn them because it was too hard and uncomfortable to do?  Why did you think I put in 3:36?  Was it unworthy of sharing too? Was it in there for a reason too?” 

(Abideth ) on him - This implies that he is "now" under the wrath of God, under condemnation, and it will continue to remain on him. It will "abide" or "dwell" there as its appropriate habitation. As there is no way of escaping the wrath of God but by the Lord Jesus Christ, so those who will not believe must go to eternity "as they are," with the Wrath of God Abiding on them.

If every supposed Christian started quoting John 3:36 instead of, or in addition to John 3:16, I wonder what would happen?
