ETERNAL LIFE HAS A LIFESTYLE

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

DATE: TUESDAY 3rd AUGUST

TOPIC: ETERNAL LIFE HAS A LIFESTYLE

TEXT: Mark 10:17-23

Key verse: Matthew 3:8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits meet for repentance.

In today's text, a rich man came running and knelt to Jesus asking, “What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” Thank God that people know about eternal life. They know that there is life after death. They know that life is forever and that there are qualifications for it. But the man who asked this question didn't have full knowledge of the value of eternal life.

This is so because when Jesus opened up the full knowledge of the value of eternal life to him, he went away grieved. He didn't go for it. Sorry for him. That is the poverty of the world. That is the sorrow of humanity. Satan has bound most of them. He has tied them and held them captive such that it is hard for them to appreciate the value of eternal life.

They are blind and cannot see the truth of God. The rich man asked Jesus a wonderful question. Jesus answered him, “Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.” Jesus wanted him to know that the person speaking to him was God. Jesus was opening his eyes to God and to let him know that only God can give him eternal life.

Then Jesus went further to tell him, “Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.” Can you see that eternal life has a lifestyle? Eternal life is not for sinners. That is why Jesus came so that they should not perish but have eternal life.

They should know him. They should accept him. They should follow the lifestyle of eternal life so that they may have eternal life and not perish. Many in the Church claim to be born again but there is no evidence of the fruit of righteousness in their life. Is that not hypocrisy? Eternal life does not come by a mere profession of faith in Christ; your lifestyle must prove that truly Christ lives in you.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Live the lifestyle of eternal life that will silence your persecutors.

1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Thought for the day: The lifestyle of eternal life is evidence of true Christianity

Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of believers…..

Bible reading for the day:
Psalm 70-72; Romans 4. #Horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
