John 3:18 " He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believeth in the name of the only begotten Son of God".
To be condemned; to be found guilty, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that man would not have to be condemned to eternal death and hell. He then, knowing that we would not choose Him, so He choose us, giving us the opportunity to choose Him, and yet many by default will perish because they refuse to believeth in the name of God's only begotten son.
God's love for us has offered us the free gift of salvation, but it is our love for Him which allows us to accept this gift. Now I don't mean accept it like you might do a present. You know that ugly tie which you accept from a friend but never wear it. No this gift to accept it means it is the main part of your life. You wear it out front, putting Him on display as you lift Him up for all the world to see that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of your life. Jesus said with your lips you do honor me, but your hearts are far from me.
Do you only believe with your mouth? Do you live a life of non belief. Many say they believe, but the way they live their life says they don't believe. They live a life of denial; denying He lives, and denying He has all power, by living a powerless life. Jesus said you're either for me or against me, there is no middle ground. Many will be condemned by default, because their life is one of non-belief.
