This month the theme and colors for our blog train were chosen by Cyndi.
Such an important theme for us to look at - Eternal Life. Some may think our eternal life begins when we die and go to be with our Lord but no the reality is that our eternal life begins when we believe in and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
I will now include a quote from Truspire Blog:
" Many people including Christians believe that eternal life is
just living forever and it starts once we die. Of course, that is part of it,
but all humans will live forever, but it all depends on where their end
destinations will be, heaven or hell? In (John
17:3) “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” Jesus said that eternal life is in knowing the one true God
through Jesus Christ. Once you come into that knowledge of Christ, then you can
have eternal life here on earth. The word ‘know’ in the Greek in this verse is
“ginōskō”. This word means more than intuitive knowledge but experientially
knowing Christ. Therefore, this does denote a mere intellectual knowledge of
Christ but an intimate and close personal relationship with Christ, which
is truly knowing Christ.
Eternal
life is a present tense possession, it can be received and enjoyed right here
on earth, it does not have to be realised only after we die. (John 3:36) “He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the
wrath of God abideth on him.” John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life.”
Too
many Christians are waiting for eternal life to be realised after death, when
Christ has promised us abundant life here on Earth. (John 10:10) “The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and
that they might have it more abundantly.” This does not mean a
life void of problems, but a life full of everlasting joy and peace in the
midst of every circumstance.
If a
person does not understand the true meaning of eternal life, they will never
grasp the importance of knowing and growing in Christ, and they would never
fully comprehend the relationship that Christ has for us and has made available
for us to experience right here on Earth."
