The innate desire for men to attain eternity in God's Kingdom makes them search the Hebrew Scriptures diligently, even memorizing them while seeking Divine knowledge, thinking that facts or relatively good behavior are all it takes to gain everlasting life in the bosom of the LORD. Yet, some are not willing to come completely out of darkness, repentant and no longer relying on their old, worldly ways but abiding in the Word of God the Father, whom we know personally as Jesus in the flesh, but whom they only claim to have understood, without asking in faith that God is willing to sacrifice His Son for the world and share His Wisdom, with all things bright and beautiful (James 1:5-7 & Ecc. 3:11). Even so, as we receive Christ with all readiness to be found, from the depth of our hearts, continually meditating on the Scripture, which always tells of Him, and affirming the Gospel of Salvation outlined, living by it in faith while we proclaim it in love to all, an eternity in the bosom of the Father is rest assured (Acts 17:11).
Therefore, as we seek to gain eternity in God's Kingdom, we shouldn't relent in acknowledging the fact that Christ is the Way, Truth, and Life; only when we receive Him in faith, living in His statutes with help from the Spirit of Holiness, will we gracefully enjoy the Divine assurance of eternal life in Heaven (John 14:6-7 & Luke 23:43).
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You, for the intimate knowledge of Your Word, Jesus Christ, and the Divine grace to live in His righteousness. Please keep me motivated to help with changing the mindsets of many running away, into one of receiving and confessing Christ as Your Son, and not merely striving for the knowledge of a man who has yet to arise,
Amen.
From John 5:39-40
