From Death Unto Life

By: Robert A. Searles

We need to daily examine ourselves to determine whether or not by God's grace we have passed from death unto life.  The eternal, everlasting life that God has offered us thru Christ is not that which we shall receive in the "Sweet bye and bye" "When  all get to heaven" No! The moment that we choose to believe  The Word of God and accept Christ as our Savior, and  by faith receive his forgiveness of all our sin, God imputes to us the righteousness of Christ and we are made the righteousness of God thru Christ, and we receive all the  spiritual eternal , everlasting life we will ever have right here and now while we live in our natural bodies on earth,  that we might have ltfe ,  and have it more abundantly, and we are promised that when we leave our natural bodies, our eternal life will continue on forever with Christ.

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked." 2 Cor 5: 1-3

How can we know if we have received eternal life?

We can know by the witness of the Holy Spirit who, when we open the door o our heart, so to speak, and by faith invite the LORD to enter and abide with us , and we with him forever,  The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we have been cleansed of all sin and have  become the children of God By that which Christ has accomplished for us by his finished work of redemption on the cross and his resurrection.

 “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”1 John 5:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."    John 5:24

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."  John 3:36 - "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;"   Hebrews 3:14

"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 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. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." 1 John 5: 9-15
