The word for today is - Life !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Life !
 
 One of the most notable discourses was between Jesus and Nicodemus. Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish council, went to Jesus during the night to discover how to live the Christian life. Jesus explains to Nicodemus that he must be born again. Read John 3:3, Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. You must be born again,Spiritual life. Read John 14:6,Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God is a Spirit. Let's look at John 10:15,As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.Did you get that? He layed down His life for us. Our purpose in life, as God originally created man, is to  glorify God and enjoy fellowship with Him,to have good relationships with others, and to have dominion over the earth. Another part of our purpose is to see life on this earth in perspective. Unlike those whose focus is on this life on earth, but King David looked for His satisfaction in the time to come.  Read Psalm 17:15,As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. He is talking about when he awoke ,in the next life. Now,that is the abundant life. Amen ! You must know that the devil wants to stop you from living. Read 1Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Do you want to live? God gave us the keys to come in. Read Romans 10:9, That, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Everyone needs to know that life has purpose, that death isn't the permanent end of our existence. Although mankind is physical, subject to death, the good news is that God promises a resurrection to eternal life to everyone who repents, worships God and accepts Jesus as the Messiah and His sacrifice. The first resurrection to immortality will take place when Christ returns to establish God's Kingdom on this earth. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
