“For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life” John 3:16
LIGHT FOR THE
NOW: The arrival of eternal life is the power that
gives birth to a new man.
Eternal life is neither an event nor
a feeling but it is a person and that person is Jesus Christ. The arrival of
Jesus Christ into the world was the arrival of eternal life. This is the
God-kind of life. Eternal life is the greatest gift of God to man. Just as Adam
made man a sinner, so does Jesus Christ make you righteous (Romans 5:19). The
arrival of eternal life in you deletes the old, Adamic, sinful nature in you.
When you receive Jesus into your life, you are created anew. It is called
re-birth. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold all things are become new”. Eternal life gives you a new identity in
God because you are born again at new birth. You are born of God and not by the
will of man which makes you a spirit-being because God is a spirit. Jesus is
eternal life given to us. Outside Jesus, you are not sanctified (Romans 6:23).
Eternal life is a proof of God’s ownership. When you receive eternal life, you
begin to know God in different dimensions. If you do not have eternal life at
work in you, you will never know the Word of God. Nobody is permitted to access
divine mysteries outside the knowledge of Christ. It is only through eternal
life that you will begin to understand the operations of divinity.
Eternal life is what makes you a
mystery here on earth. When you have eternal life at work in you, you cannot be
reduced to nothing. Whatever seems impossible in life, at the arrival of
eternal life, all things become possible. You cannot receive anything from God
outside eternal life (Ephesians 2:8). Jesus was eternal life walking and living
with men (John 17:6-8). As the resurrected, highly exalted King of Kings and
Lord of Lords, He is the Eternal Life. Eternal life cannot live in you and men
do not know your identity. This means that as a believer, you cannot be hidden
from men. It is in the place of intimacy with God that the best of God is
revealed to you. No one can have true fellowship with God outside eternal life.
INSTRUCTION: To operate in eternal life, come to
Jesus.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I thank you for the gift of eternal life
at work in my life, in Jesus name.
QUOTE: It is in the place of intimacy with God that the best
of God is revealed to you.
