1 John 5:11 (NKJV) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
There was a wise young man who discovered that his father willed all their fortune to their slave. He wondered why his father did this, but he knew the slave was still their property.
When it was time for him to ask for a last gift from his dying father, he asked that the slave be given to Him as his property. He did this because he understood that if he owns the slave, he also owns everything the slave owns.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son (John 3:16). Christ Jesus has been given so that we would not perish but have eternal life. Eternal life is in Christ, all life proceeds from Him (see John 3:3-4). If we receive Him, we have received eternal life.
Eternal life is also very relevant in this present world. It is a superior life that can empower a person live above the limitations of the flesh and this present world.
When we receive Christ, He also receives us. We abide in Him and He abides in us (see John 15:1). And the life that He has in Himself becomes ours because we abide in Him.
This is how we abide in Him; by receiving Him and letting His word abide in us (see John 15:7). This means our lives are ruled by His word.
Go into today abiding in the Lord and expect to see the manifestation of His eternal life in your daily life.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
