John 3:18-21
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
We are all condemned unless we believe, and will never believe if we go on doing evil and hating what is good. Loving darkness keeps us from the light because our hearts are not set on doing right to seek and please God. This is the rest of the story beyond God so loved the world - it does not mean all go to heaven, just that it is possible by what Jesus has done.
