From John 3:
17 For God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world; but that through him the world might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that does not believe is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
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.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
So basically its saying, the default position is hell. Humans have sinned, and thats automatically where we go. We are "ALREADY" condemened. But since God wanted to help us out and provide salvation, He sent his Son, Jesus Christ down to Earth, that we might come to salvation in him.
"I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me" -Jesus
Serious question, please do not take this in any hostile way. But according to this, you and I are going to ''hell'' then, and there is nothing we can do about this, correct?
Looking for some insight if this is not the case.
