What does John's Gospel say is already resting on the person who does not have the Son?
John's Gospel states that condemnation is already resting on the one who does not have the Son. The person who has the Son has life; the one who lacks the Son lacks life and remains under condemnation, since condemnation rests upon every son of Adam.
Les teaches that back in John's Gospel Jesus said, "He that hath the Son hath life, he who hath not the Son hath not life," and what is already resting on him? Condemnation. Les explains that condemnation rests upon every son of Adam. We are born sinners, born into the Adamic race, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are all sons of Adam, all sinners, and under condemnation. But now the Scripture says there is no condemnation—what a difference! And what made the difference? The Gospel.
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.
