God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. – John 3:17 (NLT)
Jesus didn’t come to this earth to condemn and judge it. He didn’t come to give the world a piece of His mind, or remind them of their sin.
Instead, Jesus came to save the world from their sins. He came to let the world know that there is salvation when they call on the name of Jesus. This is the good news of the gospel. Jesus came not to tell us how bad we were, but to save us.

All we have to do is accept what Jesus did for us. We have to realize that we need a savior and accept the salvation and forgiveness that Jesus offers.

“ ‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
