I’ve been retired for several years and studying God’s Word faithfully. Over that time I’ve created a lot of letters and emails. I’m going to memorialize those that I have by creating a series of blogs so they’re in the archives for future reference:
ETERNAL LIFE:
God’s commands are for our benefit and obedience is not onerous. Our obedience ensures the fulfillment of God’s promises contained in His Word. We know anything God speaks comes to pass because the Word is truth and God cannot lie. We are truly blessed by God’s promises. God promises resurrection, glory and eternal life in heaven as sons of the living God and royalty in heaven. Nothing is better than that.
Rom. 8:11 – But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
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.
John 14:2 – In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
1 John 3:1 – Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Matt. 13:43 – Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
