The biblical
concept of eternal life was revealed by Jesus Christ before
His departure (John 6:44–45; John 14:1–4).
To understand
the meaning of the expression eternal life, one must first
understand the meaning of the word life. Many Christian
denominations today seem to be unaware of the distinction between biological
life—that begins with birth from water, meaning that water was made on Earth
before the formation of life, followed by the growth, that ends with the biological
death. The spiritual life, which also needs to be born again can only
happen when The God of Creation awards you with Redemption, not before. This is
because, to this world, we are all born spiritually dead. dependant on being born again—the resurrection
of the spirit (John 3:1–3).
Only after
this re-birth of the person, soul, and spirit, no one can be transformed to
enjoy eternal life. Therefore, only the God of Creation can write your name in
the Book of Life or the Lamb’s Book of Life,
granting you resurrection to eternal life to dwell in His presence (Philippians
4:3; Revelation 3:5).
Unfortunately,
many Christian churches today are filled with people who are convinced that
simply belonging to a local church, are automatically granted with this
privilege of redemption.
To verify
this reality please, please study how it is used in several passages of the
Bible:
Genesis 3:14–15, Exodus 14:13–14, 2 Kings 5:9–15, Matthew 9:20–21, and Matthew
14:25–31.
The Christian
of today beliefs, widely accepts the deception of teaching that including the
following expressions.
· That salvation is simply about getting forgiveness
of sins
· Escaping hell
· Going to heaven when they die
· Receiving eternal life by default
Moreover, it
is often thought that people “get saved” by doing some (or all) of the
following:
· Asking Jesus into their hearts
· Confessing their sins
· Repenting of their sins
· Getting baptized in water
