This is Eternal Life
by Athena
John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
Also in John 3:36 says, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life”.
The word “has” means that it is in our current possession. Eternal life does not start after death. It begins the very moment we accept Jesus in our life. We can experience eternal life NOW! In John 17:3 “And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth”. We are in this journey of knowing our Father and Jesus more. One way we know God more is when we experience His attributes (a Father, a Friend, Healer, Provider etc).
Application
What are the attributes of God that you ever experience in your life? Think of your life, with and without Jesus. With a heart of gratitude, take a moment to thank Him for who He is in your life. You can also tell Him, which attribute of Him you desire to experience today and expect Him to reveal it to you. Share your experience.
