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.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. - John 3:18-19.
What did the cross do; the cross is God killing sin Satan nature out, it was no longer to exist in a believing human being. It had plagued man from the moment Adam believed - to be no more, by the cross. Adam believed the lie and was damned. What is the damnation - the condemnation Jesus said he came to destroy. Adam recieved a nature, and that nature came from the one sinner, Satan, and that was the life to be in Adam now. Adam's choice to believe.
It is the same today, we have a choice to believe what God says by his Son (Heb. 1:1), or stay with the knowledge that separated Adam from God (good and evil). What is reconciliation - no separation. Redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, back to God. That means every human being can believe now 'on the Lord Jesus Christ,' and be saved from the one sinning nature that plagues all humanity. That nature is dead in Christ! And you recieved a new nature the moment you believed.
What does it mean they were "condemned already." They had the nature of Satan, all humanity was in that same condition. No need to condemn them for their nature, their nature condemns them. They needed a new nature. And God provided the new nature "in Christ." By the death of the old nature, and the new nature provided in Christ! Hallelujah! Saved by the life of another. You must be in him, if you are to have the new Christ in you nature. Chosen "in him," before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4.
