ETERNAL LIFE
THE SPIRITUAL AND THE UNSPIRITUAL MAN
Recently I had a conversation with some people who don’t agree with the reality of spiritual existence or eternity . Their views were liberalized by conservatism of the human mind and not by spiritual knowledge or insight. As I concluded the discussion with them I told them that the thing’s of the spirit are foolishness to the world because the people of the world can’t understand them 1 Corinthians 2:14[14]But the natural, non spiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
Eternal life simply means life without inclusion of end but there is a pre requisite for us to have that life which has no inclusion of end.
Jesus said that whoever
Believes Him who sent me.. has eternal life
whoever hears my words has eternal life
When you read the bible you will discover that eternal life is not just a predicament of the future. It is not only what will happen to us after death but we already have eternal life John 5:24[24]I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life.
As thus, we should be cheerful that we have and possess eternal life
Reflective questions about the teaching
a) Who did Jesus say has eternal life?
b) From a defined perspective of due, what is eternal life?
c) Give an underlined perspective of view in purpose to our teaching
Confession prayer
Dear Lord Jesus I am glad that now I possess eternal life.
