ONLY JESUS GIVES ETERNAL LIFE


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 3:16).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME


In our previous study, we began discussing three important things we got from Jesus, and we reviewed righteousness as number one. In today’s study, I’ll explain the second one which is eternal life. Until Jesus Christ died and resurrected, it wasn’t possible for anyone to have eternal life. But what is eternal life? It’s the organic and existential attributes of deity. 


Eternal life is the very essence of divinity, the divine life of Deity. That divine life is what Jesus made possible for us. This is what every religion in the world yearns to have. Everyone in the world, whether they believe in God or not, somehow or another, all want this divine nature. They're looking for that life, but they don't know how to get it or what it’s all about. They have the intuition within themselves that the human person was created to be much more. The human being isn’t supposed to merely exist, die like an ordinary animal and be forgotten forever. They believe there's something about the human person that lives forever, and they're looking for that “thing.” 


Yes, they are right, but the only way to get it is to know Jesus and receive Him into your heart. He is the true God and eternal life: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). 1 John 5:20, “…and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 


Then in John 10:27-28, He said something most remarkable, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH….” Ponder again what we just read! You have to have or be something to be able to give it. Jesus Christ gives eternal life because He is eternal life and He imparted that life to you when you were born again. Blessed be God! 


Now that you’re born again, you’ve passed from death to life (John 5:24). 1 John 5:11-12 says, “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.”


Notice the tenses; it’s in the past: God’s testimony, His witness is that He has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son, Jesus. Anyone who has Jesus has life. Anyone who hasn’t received Jesus doesn’t have that life. Only Jesus gives eternal life. Hallelujah!


PRAYER


Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of eternal life, the very life and nature of God that’s in my spirit. I live above sickness, disease, defeat and death, because your divine life is at work in me. I walk in victory and glory every day, knowing that I’ve been made a partaker of your divine nature, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
