(Acts 4:1–10; John 3:16–21)
“Whoever does not believe in the Son of God is already condemned” (John 3:18). For what? Because when there is light all around, he remains in the darkness out of love for her. Love of darkness, hatred of the light makes him all around guilty, even without determining what the truth is; because whoever has this sincere love for the truth, it will lead him out of the darkness of error and lead him to the light of truth. Example, St. ap. Paul. He was a sincere lover of truth, whole-heartedly devoted to what he considered true, without any interests. Therefore, as soon as the truth was shown to him not in what he considered to be true, he at that very moment abandoned this ancient thing, which turned out to be not true, and with all his heart clung to the new, tangibly proven true. The same thing happens with any sincere lover of truth. The truth about Christ is clear as day: seek and you will find. Help from above is always ready for a sincere seeker. Therefore, if anyone remains in the darkness of unbelief, he remains only out of love for darkness, and for this he is already condemned.
