“Whoever has the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1Jo5.12 ESV
Here it is in a nutshell, reason enough to come to Christ, yet in a fuller sense, to ask Christ to come into us. The most attractive aspect of the Christian life is not that it goes on forever but that it is Life with a capital "L," and, it goes on forever. Whatever images we might have of living and of living forever, Jesus has defined it for us. He said, “This is eternal life, that they know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
Eternal life is knowing God, for it will take an everlasting life to know Him and that peerless fellowship He has with His Son. Everything else, the galaxies of stars and sky, the worlds of fields and forest and whatever else will spring out of the abounding love between the Father and His Son, shall be the playground where we discover and experience Them.7/25/2008 ts
