The Bottom Line On Eternal Life
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”
O-bservation:
In this fifth chapter of the Gospel of John, once again Jesus has come under fire for healing a person on the Sabbath. The religious leaders chased Him down and gave Him major grief for having disgraced the Sabbath. Jesus said, “Those of you who will hear me, and believe the one who sent me (God), will not be judged but will have crossed over from death to life.”
A-pplication:
A society cannot move forward without good, law abiding citizens. But here the religious leaders were using the law to keep a man paralyzed. When Jesus healed him on the Sabbath, it forced them to be thankful or angry. They chose anger and took Jesus on … again! But while speaking Jesus laid down “The Bottom Line on Eternal Life.” Here it is again. No matter what anyone tells you, those who hear the Word of the Lord and believe in God the Father will have crossed from death to life.
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
I’m so thankful that I met Your conditions for eternal life years ago, and I never regret it! Amen
