Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have Eternal Life. –John 3:15-16

God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Those who believe in Him (Jesus) are not condemned but those who do not believe are condemned already because they have not believed in the Name of the only Son of God and this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.
For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed but those who do what is true come to the light so that it may be clearly seenthat their deeds have been done in God. John 3:17-21
Prayer for the Restoration of God’s Favor
Lord, You were favorable to Your land;
You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
You forgave the iniquity of Your people;
You pardoned all their sin.
You withdrew all Your wrath;
You turned from Your hot anger.
Restore us again, O God of our salvation
and put away Your indignation toward us.
Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
Will You not revive us again,
so that Your people may rejoice in You?
Show us Your steadfast love, O Lord
and grant us Your salvation.
Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people,
to His faithful, to those who turn to Him in their hearts.
Surely His salvation is at hand for those who fear Him,
that His glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
Righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground
and Righteousness will look down from the sky.
The Lord will give what is good
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him
and will make a path for His steps. Amen! –Psalm 85:1-13
