Eternal Life


"Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.  And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."
I John 2:24-25

There are many temporal blessings and benefits available to the child of the living God but there is one that lasts forever outside of time and that is eternal life.  Our health on this earth will fade and our days here doing Gods work are numbered but to those who acknowledge the Son He gives life everlasting.

The requirement is that we obey the gospel of Jesus the only begotten Son of God.  Jesus died on the cross to atone for the sins of many and God the Father draws His people to the Son that they will obey Him who couldn't before, and will live who were dead before.  The Son's redemptive blood provides that those who obey may forever fellowship in the presence of God.  Obey the commands of Jesus through faith that you too may be able to fellowship with God forever.

Consider also: Matthew 25:31-46; John 3:14-21; I John 5:12-13
