In this verse, Jesus conveys a profound truth about condemnation and salvation. Belief in Christ is not just intellectual assent but a life-changing commitment that shifts one’s standing before God. Those who believe in Jesus are no longer condemned but are brought into a new life of grace and forgiveness. On the other hand, unbelief separates people from this redemptive relationship, leaving them outside the fullness of God’s salvation. This message serves as a call to embrace the gift of salvation offered through Christ, realizing that condemnation is not God's desire for humanity but a result of rejecting His offer of love and grace. The invitation to believe is extended to everyone, and with belief comes freedom from condemnation and the promise of eternal life. This verse challenges us to live with a heart open to God’s love, trusting in His saving power, and finding peace in His promises. By believing, we are transformed, freed from the weight of guilt, and assured of God’s unwavering acceptance.
Luke 7:47
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
John 20:31
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear.
