Good morning, happy Thursday,

-Eternal Life Is In Jesus Christ-

“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12).

“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).

Every person on earth must make the choice: receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior or reject Him. There is no in between, no gray area. One either has Jesus and has life or does not. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). It is also very clear in Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The word life in verse 12 can be translated the life. You either have it or you don’t. God desires that each person receive the gift of God which is eternal life, but He will never force anyone to take it. No one will be in heaven against their will, and no one will go to hell without the opportunity to hear the gospel and be saved.

Once we receive God’s Son Jesus Christ we have eternal life. We are in the hands of Jesus and the hands of the Father. No one pluck us out of their hands. Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. No one can blot us out of God’s book. We have the assurance of eternal security in Christ. We have peace with God and no matter how much Satan attacks us to disturb us or create doubt in our hearts, nothing can change our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Do you have eternal life in Jesus Christ? If the answer is either no or you are not sure, please receive Him today! God wants you to have the faith and assurance of knowing that when you die or if the Rapture comes first, you will be with Him in heaven forever. With choice of Christ, comes the confidence in Christ, and certainty to be with Christ forever!

Have a blessed day in Jesus thanking God for your eternal salvation and security in Him. Stay safe and healthy.

In His grace,

Dean
