Messiah”™s Definition of Eternal Life
What is the definition of eternal life according to Jesus?
(NASB) John 17:3 “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
The “˜they”™ are the followers of Christ Jesus. Are you one of the “˜they”™? If so, you personally know God, “˜the only true God”™. Then you know Jesus Christ whom God has sent.
Do you have an acquaintance with God the Father or do you have a personal relationship with Him through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ?
The eternal life that anyone receives can only come through knowing God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”¦those are God”™s words, not mine.
What problems are in your life today? The deep longing of Jesus is expressed in this prayer for those God has given Him. Think about this, to know God for yourself”¦to experience a close, intimate relationship with the God of the Bible. Love does that”¦love wants intimacy, oneness, unity, an understanding of the inner person. God”™s love is doing that for you”¦He has already done all that love can do for you”¦through His Son”™s death on the cross.
The beginning with God is to receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord”¦to continue in your relationship with God the Father and His Son is to grow in your understanding, to grow in your faith, to love the God of the Bible more and more each day”¦
Think about a starting point on a long road and you can”™t really see the end”¦it is not in sight. Now, with receiving Jesus as your Savior as the starting point”¦where are you on that road in knowing “˜the only true God and Jesus Christ”™ whom He has sent?
