*LIFE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.* (John 5:24(MSG))
_Bible Insight:_
In part one of the topic about life we see that Jesus Christ is the true life indeed. Only in Him and through Him can we truly live.
According to our text today, Jesus Christ is showing us how a person can get eternal life. He says if anyone listen carefully to His (Jesus) word and aligns himself with the Father, such a person automatically has Eternal Life.
Lets see the text in another version
(“I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life. (Living Bible))
This is telling us that a person who refuses to hear and believe Jesus and the one who sent him, by following the sayings of Jesus Christ cannot and will not have eternal life.
How can they hear for them to believe? Romans 10:13 to 15 says:
13 Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
15 And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?
This is what the Scriptures says about those who make effort to tell others about the way to life:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.”[b] In other words, how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News! (Living Bible)
*Are you saved? Do you believed? Have you been sent?*
If your answer is yes, then the giver of life resides in you and also with you to give life to the people around you who are in the captive of the devil, to set the captives free through the life that is the light in you.
And if you are not saved, it is not too late for you to believe and call upon the name of the Lord who can give eternal life and bring you out of condemnation (out of darkness) into His marvelous light. You can turn your back to sin and turn to God.
*How can I do this? How can I get life?*
(1) Sincerely repent from your sin, (2) confess your sins to God (3) accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made because of you, (4) turn back to him and turn away from the lust of this world, (5) call on him for mercy with faith and He will give you life eternal.
Put your faith in Jesus and you shall rejoice evermore.
