DEFINITION:
Without beginning or ending; endless; everlasting.
SCRIPTURE:
And the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us. I John 1:2.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
Yesterday we shared with you some thoughts on excuses. This included excuses people give for not accepting Jesus as their Savior, who alone has the power to give eternal life.
Today we will share with you some thoughts about eternal life. The verse above from I John tells us what the source of eternal life is. Jesus is the life that was manifested in John 14:6. Jesus testified of Himself that He was the way, the truth and the life and that no one can enter the Kingdom of God (Eternal life) without believing in Him. Jesus is the source of eternal life.
Eternal life can be claimed only one way. John 1:11-13 tells us that only those who receive Christ as their Savior become part of the family of God. John 6:47 tells us that all who believe receive eternal life. These are explicit statements. There are no “if’s” or “maybe’s” in them.
John in his book (John 3:14, 16) tells us that whoever believes in Jesus can have eternal life. So any one and every one can have eternal life. It is our choice. Eternal life is received when one believes on Jesus and asks for forgiveness of their sins and accepts Jesus as Savior. Jesus will forgive each and every sin, and will give eternal life to all, each and every one, who receives Him.
I John 5:13 gives us the assurance that we can know that we have eternal life and I Peter 1: 4-5 assures us that God will keep His promise and we will not lose our Salvation.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in John 15:9.
Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you, abide in My love.
PRAYER:
Help my family to understand that our soul will live forever and where we live is based on what we do now. Help us to be certain of our Faith in Jesus and assurance that we will spend an eternity with you in heaven.
