Eternal Life - What is it?

 

What a wonderful verse we have all heard from our childhood. Its edged into our sub conscious. We can quote with a blink of my eye. 

 Have you thought of what this verse says. It says eternal life to those who believe in the Son of God. And we are so indoctrinated in our life that the reverse is true. That those who don't believe will be sent to eternal fire. 

 But let us take a minute and think today

  • Is the God revealed by  Jesus waiting to see who did not believe in him and send them on a one way ticket to hell. Where they are condemned and suffer for ever?
  • So if we have a God with unconditional love and not a judge who is sitting there giving heaven hell judgement. What does this verse we started it with mean. 

It is time to think and take a turn from what we are thinking. Turn from what was explained to us and from what is put into our mind by those in place of influence. Think and have a turn in our thought and understanding.

·        Eternal life is a gift from God

·        It is given to all mankind

·        It is not dependent on me or my actions

What is it then that this verse is speaking about?

1.     Jesus shows the way to eternal life and not perish in this world of material.

2.     Jesus came to reveal to us the eternal nature of us

3.     He came to show us that God is ever-loving and there is no need for us to perish in our concept of the angry God

4.     He came to show us that the Kingdom is within us and we are not separate from him

5.     There is no sin or anything in this world that can separate us from God’s love

So think contemplate and do comment what you think and what Jesus is revealing to you.
