TODAY’S WORD FOR THURSDAY AUGUST 4, 2016.
ETERNAL LIFE
Without beginning or ending; endless; everlasting.
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.
I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6.
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 receives 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 to receive it or reject it. 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.
It is important for one that does not know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior that you cannot have eternal life by doing just good works or being kind or generous. There is only one way to know that you have eternal life and that is by asking God to come into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
I John 5:13 gives us the assurance that we can know that we have eternal life. Our certainty is based on God’s Word that He has given us eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. I Peter 1: 4-5 assures us that God will keep His promise and that we will not lose our Salvation.
Peter tells us that through our faith in Jesus we receive an inheritance of eternal life which can never perish, spoil, or fade and which is kept in heaven for us.
Our memory verse for this week is found in Isaiah 25:4.
For You have been strength to the poor, strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
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 have full assurance that we will spend an eternity with you in heaven.
