Eternal Life

Eternal life-Do you seek it?  The Rick Young Ruler did in Mark 10:17-22.  The Bible states, this young man came "running" and "knelt" down before Him (Jesus).  This young man wanted religion.  He wanted church membership.  He wanted to be accepted into the party.  He wanted Eternal Life-a life lasting forever.  The words this man used shows us something of his heart, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life"  This young man was full of legalism-a system of works.  Works can never make us holy nor gives us eternal life.  Eternal life is not about something we do but about someone who Is.  Eternal life is Christ alone.

"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent."John 17:3

"That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:15

"But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."  John 10:26-28

"And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." 1 John 5:11

"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." 1John 5:13

"And we now that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may now Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God and eternal life." 1 John 5:20

Have you entrusted your entire spiritual well being to Christ?  Have you laid yourself, your works, your good deeds upon His alter?  Surrender to His Lordship today.
