THIS is Eternal Life! Living in the very presence of God is not possible in our present condition. God cannot dwell in the midst of sin and evil, and though saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, even we who believe must await the final step in our salvation, when our bodies are raised incorruptible and God dwells with us in…
THIS is Eternal Life! Perhaps it is because we see the failures of human government and think that WE could do better, that we can get the idea that we could “run the world” better than God is doing!! Of course, we would never say such a thing, but like Habakkuk, our complaining about the way things are happening reveals the foolish…
THIS is Eternal Life! Amid the chaos of life in this world, it can feel like you are a small, insignificant speck caught in the middle of powerful forces that have the potential to cause you heartache, pain, and loss. So much of life in this world is beyond our control! BUT, it is not beyond GOD’s control!! While some pretend that…
THIS is Eternal Life! There will come a day when every person who has ever lived on the earth will KNOW the one true God! For many, the knowledge of God will confirm their judgment because they rejected whatever testimony they received, whether from creation or through His Word. But for those who by God’s grace come to know God by the…
THIS is Eternal Life! When the Spirit of God is at work in you, the blessing of knowing God and being one of His people becomes the foundation upon which you build your life, the source of your identity, and the guiding principle for your existence. Telling everyone, “We’re all God’s children” is not only untrue but also extremely harmful to those…
THIS is Eternal Life! Looking at all the problems plaguing the human race in our day it is easy to despair when looking ahead to the future. Will there ever be peace? No! Will people ever learn to get along? No! Will things be better for future generations? No!! Then how do you keep going? You rest in the promises of God…
THIS is Eternal Life! It’s a simple question really, but few people seem to want to think about how important it is to know the right answer: “Is God in control over everything?” To be “sovereign” means to possess supreme or ultimate power. Certainly, there is no one on earth who is sovereign, even though some may think they are. However, the…
THIS is Eternal Life! God’s grace in Jesus Christ, His love for those who are His children and His gift of salvation to those who believe are not recognized as amazingly wonderful by most and are virtually overlooked as not being all that significant, even by many in the church, BECAUSE they are not seen in the light of God’s judgment. Believing…
THIS is Eternal Life! Our society, and the media at large, places a heavy emphasis on finding personal meaning and fulfillment in the many different secular pursuits available to us in this world. While these things can be good things to pursue in our lives, they only have meaning in them as a means toward glorifying God, rather than as an end…
THIS is Eternal Life! As people around us talk about “income equality,” throughout time there have always been some who were rich and others who were poor. There are some who have more material possessions in this world and there are others who have fewer material possessions. Such “inequality” is caused by a number of factors, including talents and abilities, opportunity, corrupt…
