Jesus said, “I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that the blind would see and so that those who see will become blind.”
to open their eyes so that they may turn away from darkness to the light, away from the power of Satan and to God. Then their sins can be forgiven, and they can have a place with those people who have been made holy by believing in me.’
