Jesus Life Everlasting

Jesus Life Everlasting – The Gift Of Life Eternal For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:22-23

There was an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” where Ray was afraid of death. Of course, his father, Frank, being the caring and gentle soul that he is, yelled out in a loud voice, “You’re gonna die”. Laughter exploded from the audience, because it was, in fact, very funny. But the thought of death is no laughing matter. For some people, their own mortality is difficult to wrap their head around.

The facts are plain and simple. We are all going to die…but it doesn’t have to be anything to be afraid of. Death, and as they say, taxes, are two certainties in everyone’s life. How you choose to live your life is the real issue here.

Each of us faces the same dilemma. We have a sin debt that we owe to God but no way to pay for it. None of our solutions – living a moral life, being religious, or doing more good deeds – can take care of our problem.

God Himself has provided the solution – one that both satisfies His justice and grants us mercy. He sent His Son to pay the penalty we owed. Jesus was qualified to be our substitute because He never sinned (2 Corinthians 5:21). He willingly took our place on the cross and experienced the full measure of the Lord’s wrath against our sinfulness.

In dying for us, Christ secured our salvation by paying the debt for all our past, present, and future sins. When we trust in Jesus and surrender our life to Him, He becomes our personal Savior and Lord.

Therefore, if you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, and into your life, the thought of death is diminished…because we know that our Redeemer is waiting for us in Heaven. That is the promise given us by the Lord, Jesus Christ.

For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15

But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:15-17

Those who fall asleep in Jesus love, awakens into eternal life.

There are people in the world…good people, who give of themselves freely to causes to ease suffering of the hungry, the sick, the poor, and the afflicted. These people volunteer all over the globe helping AIDS patients, drug users, family crisis centers, and so on. Yet, as good as they are, many have not yet accepted Jesus into their lives, thinking that their works will sustain them.

Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus
Christ. So, we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:15-17

Your works in this life do nothing to get you into heaven. Once again, it is only through the acceptance of Jesus Christ that offers you eternal life. There is no substitute for this law, and yet people ignore it. Be a disciple, (follower) of the Lord, and your rewards will be great in heaven.

The Bible says that when we trust in Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, our old garments are taken off and we are given new robes of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10).

So, when you put on God’s garment of salvation and the robe of righteousness by trusting in Christ, you will receive the righteousness of Jesus and will be faultless when you stand before the Father’s throne.
