The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble .
People who have NOT the LIGHT (The SON) have no guidance and their feet are swift to run to mischief.
He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath NOT the Son hath not life BUT the wrath of GOD abideth on HIM!
I John 5: 12
John 3: verses 16 - 18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved .
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
