Eternal Life

John 5:24 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

We make our plans for the future and yet only God knows the number of days we have on this earth. Our time does not run out when our 401k does. No, it runs out when He calls us home.

But does God call everyone home to heaven for eternity with Him. As this verse tells us, He gives eternal life to all who hear the words of Jesus and believes.

John 3:16 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Yes, Father God sent Jesus as assurance of a life in eternity with Jesus. A passing without coming into judgment. Without His saving grace, without being born again we would be judged for all we have done in this life.

John 3:3 NIV
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

Are you willing to take that kind of a chance on your eternity? Perhaps today is a good day to ask Jesus into your heart and to forgive your sins. Today is a good day to become born again.
