The Gift Poured Out 3/29/2019

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:11-12

God has given each one of us The Gift so that we can live with Him forever. God has given every single person He’s created the gift of eternal life. When Jesus died, He blew the doors off of our prison cells that sin had kept us in. Now it’s up to us. There are no barriers, no doors on our prison cell that blocks our way to God. Are you going to walk out of that prison? Or are you going to stay in?
 
“It is finished!” The words Jesus spoke as He slipped into death. He finished the work of providing freedom from sin for us. He finished the work of providing the way for us to live intimately with God forever.
 
The gift of an intimate, eternal life with God is only received through The Gift, Jesus. I love today’s verses, they speak truth so clearly and simply leaving no doubt as to how we receive eternal life with God.

Turning Scripture into Prayer


Thank You God for giving me eternal life. Help me walk out of the prison cell of sin and into Your loving arms that are waiting for me. Thank You for writing such clear words to show me the way to eternal life. Thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins. Please forgive me for my sins. I choose now to live my life for You, in You, and with You. Thank You that I now have the Son, so I now have life!
