What Is Everlasting Life? – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 1st

(It Begins But Has No End)

TO THE BIBLE: John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

LET’S TALK
Our opening verse is about the most popular verse in the Bible. It contains the most powerful and informative words in Scripture.

It says anyone who believes in the Son of God has everlasting life, meaning they’re separated from the path of destruction, waste, failure, damage, etc.

So, what exactly is everlasting life? Is it life that just goes on and on? No, that definition doesn’t even scratch the surface of what it is.

To understand everlasting life, you first have to know what eternal life is. This might come as a surprise to some people who thought they were the same, but there’s a difference.

To be eternal is to be ageless—ageless without a beginning and ageless without an end. It’s a life that has no beginning and no end; it’s timeless. Eternity, thus, refers to timelessness and agelessness.

More specifically, it’s a life that cannot be corrupted or destroyed; it’s imperishable, unending, and it isn’t subject to failure or death. It’s the life and nature of God and the reason why He’s called the Eternal One.

The Bible says in Psalm 90:2, “Before you created the hills or brought the world into being, you were eternally God, and will be God for ever” (GNB).

Now, having understood eternal life, look at this: everlasting life is eternal life that has a beginning but no end. The angels, for instance, have eternal life with a beginning. Though they live forever, they had a beginning. Almighty God, however, has no beginning; He’s absolutely eternal.

When you’re born again, you receive eternal life and become everlasting. You’re brought from your humanity into eternity.

Receiving that life is your first entry into it; that’s the beginning of your life in eternity. From there on, you become a part of an endless life that’s imperishable, indestructible, and incorruptible.

Speak:
I have received eternal life, and I’m absolutely death-free, incorruptible, indestructible, imperishable, not subject to failure, depravities and diseases because the law of life is operational in me! Divinity dwells in me, and I live the transcendent life! Glory to God!
