LIFE ETERNAL

LIFE ETERNAL

 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 
Genesis 2:7

Genesis 2:17 


 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:2

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:10-11

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life-- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 
1 John 1:1-3

Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' " Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always." And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 
John 6:28-35

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

Revelation 2:7

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Revelation 13:7-8 

 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness. 
Proverbs 16:31

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 
James 1:12

Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Revelation 2:10

  The breath of life that GOD breathed into Adam and Eve, was His very Spirit that is eternal. That breath gave life that knew only good; enabled them to live connected and in relationship with GOD; Thus they were blessed; Everything was blessed and conditions were perfect; Their bodies were perfect and they were clothed with the glory of GOD! They could eat of the tree of life and live eternally.

When Adam and Eve listened to the serpent, that perfect relationship with GOD was cut off and they died spiritually. When spirituality dies, carnality takes over. 

Just as Adam and Eve made a conscious decision to obey the devil and reject GOD'S word, we have the responsibility now to make a conscious decision to accept GOD, the LORD JESUS, Who comes into us as the Holy Spirit. He is the breath of life Who restores us back to relationship with GOD.

Thus we are as it were, fitted in with the fountain of life which originates from the river of life from the throne of GOD. This free flow of the Holy Spirit is able to quench our spiritual thirst and flows out of our innermost being, bringing spiritual refreshing and blessing to others.

This water of life also makes our life like a fruitful tree of life, bearing the fruit of the Spirit - the attitudes we carry that resemble those of the LORD JESUS and manifest works of righteousness through us. This is the spiritual life that shines as the light of life, drawing others to GOD!

We grow in this spiritual life by feeding on the word of life written in the Bible. JESUS was the physical manifestation of the Word and continues as the Bread of Life Who nourishes our soul as we meditate on Him and abide in Him and He abides in us.

Thus JESUS, Who is the Way of life, guides us on the path of life towards the New Jerusalem.

As we diligently study and follow the instructions given in the Bible, our mind is renewed and we receive a spiritual mindset which is the crown of life. As our hearts remain humble and we are quick to repent of our wrong doings, our sins are blotted out by the blood of the Lamb of GOD. We will then be overcomers and our name will not be blotted out from the Book of life. When death is swallowed up in victory, our spirit and soul that is redeemed will receive an incorruptible body that is clothed with the glory of GOD and we will enter the new Jerusalem where we will live forever in the glorious presence of the Almighty GOD! 

Nothing of the bad, ugly or wicked will be found in heaven. Everything that is good and beautiful will be unimaginably far more glorious! There is no restriction of time and space in heaven, hence no rush or stress!

Since we have such a great hope of eternity, let us prepare while on earth, by entering into rest with the LORD, making peace with Him. Let us develop a spiritual mindset because the carnal mind is death but the spiritual mind is life and peace. Let us not be preoccupied with earthly things as they are only a shadow of heaven. 

Only when we die will we be resurrected. So let us learn to put to death our life of the flesh - the worldliness, lust, selfishness and pride so that we may live as led by the Holy Spirit. Then on the last day we will be raised to eternal life in CHRIST!
