John.3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. 3:36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys{The same word can be translated "disobeys" or "disbelieves" in this context.} the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

Can a person make themselves a non-sinner? This is not a trick question it is rather basic biblical teaching a foundation stone to our faith in Christ! In other words, for God's wrath to be removed off a person one has to be accounted sinless, did you know that?

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

What is God's wrath specifically at Jesus words here? It was the law of God, God's law condemned all flesh with sin, that is, all born from Adam. Now we are not saying God hated human as many think of when hearing the words God's wrath, no! What God is saying the law is righteous and good, but human under sin cannot meet its requirement because they are born sinners. He is also telling us that the law is for sinners and not righteous person, but why?

Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"{Deuteronomy 21:23}

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Hebrews 9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

Simply put, one person in the flesh Jesus Christ not born of Adam sin could fulfill the law, because they were a non-sinner. The rest needed God's mercy, what is God's mercy to the Jewish faith at this time? It was blood, innocent animal blood, blood that had not broken the law making it condemned. Yes, animals were not created by God to be moral creatures keeping the law. Subsequently, their blood could bring God's mercy, but only temporarily.

Hebrews 9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Now with this context Christ is telling each one of us, under the law there were no works of law, because one could not keep the law, without sinning this is why each person must atone for themselves by innocent blood. They must put faith in the power of the blood God had forgiven their sins by purchasing them by payment of innocent life. None, not one could be proven righteous by the law alone, that is, trying to keep it.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

Romans 5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

Sober up, this is the truth, the law only condemn the Jews putting them under God's wrath the punishment of the law, most often death. Blood saved them from God's wrath, without blood nothing in the Jewish faith was clean before God holiness and that is a truth. Now Jesus says those believing he is the lamb of God whom purchased sins once for all time God's wrath will be removed from them. Do you believe that?

John 1:29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John 1:36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

Acts 8:32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.

1 Peter 1:19 but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;

What Christ did not say is if you don't obey some church rules you are not saved. He did not say if you don't obey the Jewish faith you are not saved. He said if you believe in me, you have eternal life that is, you are saved now, but why? Because Christ removes God wrath, that is, his judgment of sin off of us, death, which would be the law, in this case, by righteous sinless blood of his son's precious life whom did not sin.

1 John 5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

John 17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

John 6:47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

Christ took the power of false religion away, the power of death, the power of judgment of our flesh, in giving us his life. This truth is so fundamental to our faith that Satan has used all in his power to pollute it into works of laws religion making ones a slaves of Babylon the Great, where confusion and the lurking place of demons prosper!

2 Corinthians 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

Do you have faith in Christ blood to remove your sins? Most have faith in laws and rules of the bible, and their religion, but very few have faith in the unseen power of God's Kingdom. The power from above was given his apostles shortly after Christ made these statement they were born again, which this chapter is about, they were regenerated into new person without sin, because they were forgiven their sins once for all time, making them part of Christ, God's temple. Faith in Christ alone stands, he is the one door God has opened for us, the one Shepard, the one head of the body, there is no other road into salvation so don't be fooled by the fears of the flesh, God is not dealing with flesh, he is giving us eternal life by the power of Spirit and truth.

2 Corinthians 13:4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

Ephesians 3:16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Philippians 3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

Colossians 1:11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
