ETERNAL LIFE: THAT THEY MAY KNOW YOU

JUNE 25 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

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

ETERNAL LIFE: THAT THEY MAY KNOW YOU 

This verse gives us a definition of Christ’s gift of eternal life. It is more than an endless existence. Eternal life is to know God, which is made possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. God is not looking to spend eternity with people who have not taken time to get to know him in this life. Through faith and devotion to Christ, we can experience the highest fulfillment in life and accomplish the purpose God wants for us. Consider how the New Testament describes eternal life:
1. It is a present reality (John 5:24; 10:27-28). Eternal life is something Christ’s followers receive as a gift (Romans 6:23). Christians experience it in part from the moment they accept His forgiveness for sin and yield their lives to Him. However, we don not maintain eternal life based merely on a past decision to accept Christ (John 5:24). That decision allows us to begin experiencing the benefits of this new life as we continue to grow in a relationship with Jesus. Experiencing eternal life right now requires an active, ongoing faith and a deepening relationship with Christ (1 John 5:12) because there is no eternal life apart from a relationship with Him (John 10:27; 11:25; 1 John 5:11-13).

1.  It is a future hope. Eternal life is the glorious opportunity to live forever with God. Entering that aspect of eternal life is associated with either passing from this life through physical death or going with Christ when He returns for His faithful followers (John 14:3; Mark 10:30; 2 Timothy 1:1,10; Titus 1:2; 3:7). But experiencing eternal life – both now and forever – is dependent on living by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit (Romans 1:7; Galatians 6:8).
