There are very few things you can be certain of in this life.
- We know the sun will rise tomorrow, but we don’t know if we’ll still be here to see it.
- The weather report may say it’s going to be 80 degrees and sunny, but who hasn’t gotten caught in an unexpected shower of “liquid sunshine”?
- Couples pledge each other their undying love, but the divorce rate testifies to the fact that even in love we can’t always be certain.
There is one thing we can count on, however – Eternal Life!
Our Heavenly Father loves us so much “He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. No “ifs, ands or buts” about it! If we believe in Jesus, eternal life is ours.
The amazing thing is, God didn’t even wait until we deserved it, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:8.
You don’t have to wait till you can keep the law perfectly to know you are saved, “For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.” Romans 10:4.
None of us know what challenges today may hold. We can only imagine what tomorrow may bring, but “you may KNOW you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13.
Marriages may fail, friends disappoint, weathermen get it all wrong, but you can count on this – “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9.
Eternal life is yours today, if you’ll only believe. What’s holding you back? Don’t live any longer in fear of tomorrow. Put away your doubts and worries and just “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL be saved.” Acts 16:31. Count on it!
