In Him was life

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for the eternal life that He has made available to us. Thank You so much o God.

Primary Text: John 1v1-4
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1v1-4

The Dakes annotated reference Bible says “Knowing God is eternal life. This is why knowledge is stressed in Scripture. The words “know,” “knowledge,” “known,” etc, are found 1,486 times in the Bible. All Scripture centers around the idea of knowing God and of conforming to His eternal will. Ignorance of Him and refusal to know and to believe in Him are condemned many times. This is what will damn the soul.”

Supplementary Texts
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3v16

“And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.” John 17v3 (Amplified Bible)

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” 1 John 5v11-13 (KJV)

“For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.” 2 Peter 1v3-4

Do you know God? Are you cultivating your relationship with Him? Are you bonding with Him? Are you increasing in the knowledge of God? This is eternal life, to know God and to know Jesus. Isn’t that wonderful? In Him is life, and His life is the light of men.

Prayer
Father, thank You for being our Shepherd in Jesus name, amen.
