He is eternal life.

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20

According to our opening scripture, Jesus Christ is revealed to us as the true God and eternal life. Yesterday, we looked at Him as the true God. Today I want us to look at what the scriptures say concerning Him as eternal life.

In John 1:4 the Bible says concerning Jesus Christ who was the Word made flesh, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” Jesus said concerning Himself in John 11:25-26, “…I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

Colossians 3:3-4 speaking concerning the man in Christ say, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” For the Christian Christ is your life. Your life is no longer in your breath; your life is hidden in Christ in God.

This was John's testimony by revelation concerning who Jesus really was; “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:1-3.

Confession.
I believe according to the scriptures that Jesus is the Word of Life. He is eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. In Him was life and He is the light of men. By my faith in Jesus, I have received eternal life. Therefore I declare that He is my life. My life is hid in Christ in God.

For further study, read:
John 11:25-26, John 14:6, John 17:3.

Doing the Word
Give the Lord thanks for the gift of eternal life.
