Scripture lesson: 1 John 5:9-13 Eternal Life

Time to reflect: Eternal life refers to a timeless, permanent state of being in the presence of God. This is hard to fathom, since our world is so time-bound. What does it mean to be timeless? Try thinking of being somewhere where there are no time-words like “waiting,' “wishing, wanting,” “looking ahead” or “looking back,” “yearning,” “moments.” “when,”now, then.”

Moving through the day: Pray a prayer of thanksgiving that we are to be granted a perfect state of being.

Scripture:

We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Concluding Remarks

 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
