For
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through
Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

| God Loved the World So Much. This Cross is from Ecuador. What is happening in our world? Earthquakes...be prepared. Love God...and your neighbor. |
Eternal Life. God gave us a promise about His Son and His gift in the classic
scripture that explains God’s love for mankind.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his
one
and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have
eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to
save the world through him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in
him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not
believing in God's one and only Son. John 3:16-18
We can trust
God that He is a promise keeper. Those who believe will be saved from judgment.
Jesus was
challenged about eternal life by religious leaders.
One day an expert in religious law stood up to test
Jesus by asking him this question: "Teacher, what should I do to inherit
eternal life?" Jesus replied, "What does the law of Moses say? How do
you read it?" The man answered, "'You must love the LORD your God
with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And,
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" "Right!" Jesus told him.
"Do this and you will live!" Luke 10:25-28
Obedience.
That is a key element. Faith. Belief. Obedience. Wrap those up in the Son of
God. Intertwine God’s love for mankind, the obedience of Jesus to be the
sacrifice for the sins of mankind, and the faith that we have to have to
believe that Jesus is truly our Savior. That wraps up the free gift from God of
eternal life. Will you accept and open that gift?
Prayer
~ O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know
when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You
see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You
know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and
follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your
Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are
there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your
strength will support me. Psalm 139:1-10.
You
are an awesome God providing me with the wonderful gift of eternal life through
Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you.
