~ In Jesus We Have Eternal Life, 4 ~
Introduction ~ In this
series we look at a few of the verses which state what we have when we are “in
Christ.” Consider our series theme
verse:
“God,
who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even
when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He
might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in
Christ Jesus. For by grace you have
been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians
2:4-10).
Currently
we are posting some of the many verses which talk about eternal life?
What
is your definition of “eternal”?
Scripture ~ “So Jesus
answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house
or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My
sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time —
houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions
— and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be
last, and the last first’” (Mark 10:29-31).
Comment ~ I like to
consider one-word descriptions of the Bible.
There are many but my favorite is “forgiveness.”
