Loren Larson Ministries Bread Crumbs “Everlasting Life” There could be nothing more rewarding than living the abundant life of a Christian. When Jesus promised everlasting life to those around Him it meant far more than simply a quantity or length of life. Everlasting life also deals with a specific quality of life. Everlasting life is a life that is worth living, a life that is worth experiencing, a life that is worth being around for. Nothing can compare to the joy of knowing that our sins are forgiven and forgotten. But that is not the only benefit that comes through maintaining a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. A covenant by its very nature says that each party involved will give all that they have, their very best, to meet the needs of the other. On my part, I give God my whole heart. And as for Him, everything that God is, everything that God has, and everything that God can do, becomes available to me for all eternity. Life as a Christian is never trouble-free, pain free, or a complete freedom from conflict and emotional distress. At times I fail miserably, even though I hate it. But I know that everything I encounter will be experienced with God forever and always by my side. This is true everlasting life!
John 3:36 - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
