John 3: 17-20  (Jesus speaking)
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness ratehr than light, because their deeds are evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed."

86.Q.We have been delivered from our misery by God's grace alone through Christ and not because we have earned it:why then must we still do good works?
     A. To be sure, Christ has redeemed us by His blood.  But we do good works because Christ by His Spirit is also renewing us to be like Himself, s that in all our living we may show that we are thankful to God for all He as done for us, and so that He maybe praised through us.  And we do good so that we may be assured of our faith by its fruits and so that by our godly living our neighbors maybe won over to Christ.

87.Q.Can those be saved who do not turn to God from their ungrateful and impenitent ways?
     A. By no means. Scripture tells us that no unchaste person, no idolater, thief, no covetous person, no drunkard, slanderer, robber, or the like is going to inherit the kingdom of God.

The wicked face temptation as a troubled sea, full of restlessness ans storms. They have no peace. God delivers us from such troubles as we guard our heart in keep Christ's word.
