God is everlasting(Ps 90:2) 

There is no beginning or end to His life(He 7:3) and 

He infinitely enjoys the joy, the happiness and the glory that His life offers. 



Faith is loving eternal life and 

The life of this faith is following after eternal life and eliminating anything that 

interferes. 



While people in the world neither believe nor desire eternal life, 

They put every effort to extend the life of their flesh. 



The Bible defines life: 

The "life in the Old Testament is nephesh, which in Hebrews means "life breath(Job 7:7); 

The "life in the New Testament is psuche, which in Greek is "the breath of life(Mt 6:25). 

As such, the life of all flesh depends on breath - 

Thus, extremely fragile and meaningless. 



This was actualized during the great flood(Ge 6:17): 

Every creature that had the breath of life was washed away by water. 



Because the living being Adam sinned, 

The spirits of all men became cut off from God and were bound to die(Ge 2:17). 



The Law, also referred to as 

"The law of sin and death and "external regulations(Rm 8:2; He 9:10), 

Let sin be known and its price sin be materialized for 

It is impossible for the blood of animals to give life to the spirit that was already dead(He 10:4). 



The tablets inside the testimony of 

The sanctuary guaranteed that the life of their flesh would be prolonged 

As long as they obeyed the Law. 



However, Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19), 

Because through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body, 

He would give life to all spirits for 

He is the incarnate Word, 

The resurrection and the life(zoe)(Jn 1:1-4, Jn 1:14, Jn 11:25, Jn 14:6). 



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:20), declaring that He: 

1. Like a seed fell and died with the function to die and obeyed the Father's command and received eternal life(Jn 10:18, Jn 12:24-25, Jn 12:50; 1Pe 1:23); 

2. Condemned the ruler of death(He 2:14); and 

3. Shed His blood and redeemed all men(Mt 20:28). 

And He rose with the life in the word(Rm 1:3-4). 



While anyone who believes Him receives life through His blood, 

Only those who follow Him can become His disciple and 

Receive eternal life(Lk 14:27; Mk 10:29-30). 



The disciples of Jesus are 

Those who hate their spouse, father, brother, children, land and 

Even their own life(Lk 14:25-35) and 

Follow Him until the end. 



The Holy Spirit lets them know that 

However great the cost they pay, 

They will surely be rewarded with eternal life(Rm 8:18; 1Co 2:12). 



O Lord, 

Open our eyes so we can know the worth of eternal life. 

Let not even one of us be lost to the fire of hell! Amen.
