Days of Heaven on Earth

Our Lord Jesus Himself gave the Definition of the Eternal Life. Many of us believe that the Eternal Life is the only life we will receive and live when we die and go from this earth. It is indeed true that those who believe in the Lord Jesus that He died for the sins of the humanity will inherit the Eternal Life once our time is up here on earth or when we die. But the Eternal Life that the Lord Jesus Himself defined when He prayed unto the Father God is found in the Gospel of Apostle John in the 17th Chapter verse 3 which says "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Therefore, from this scripture the true knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus is the eternal life. In fact Jesus Christ our Lord Himself is the Eternal Life. For Apostle John also penned by the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit in 1 John 1:2 "the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us". In this verse and also in the context you and i can clearly see that the eternal life the Apostle John is speaking of is our Lord Jesus Himself. Truly so!

Romans 6:23, a well known scripture to many of God's children "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." This is a powerful scripture and about a year ago the Holy Spirit breathed upon it once into my heart and made it one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible. When we believe in the Lord Jesus what He did for us on that rusty cross bearing our sins and shame, our sickness and diseases, our failures and shortcomings, we received the eternal life by faith for free. It came as a free gift to us. Nothing to earn or work and lobar for it. It came as a gift from the Father God to us in Jesus Christ. This eternal life is again not only the eternal life which we will live for eternity once we depart from this life here on earth, but also the eternal life which is the true knowledge of Jesus Christ Himself. In other words, we have received the true knowledge of God and Christ Jesus freely as a gift when we believed in the blessed Gospel. HalleluYah!! This is so wonderful.

You see, the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Christ was given and sent to us to shed abroad the love of God in our hearts. This is what the Word of God declares in Romans 5:5. What is the love of God then? Apostle John also wrote in 1 John 4:10 "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." John 3:16 the core message of the Bible "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." By writing this, here i want to say that the knowledge of God and Lord Jesus is the knowledge of the love of God toward us. Praise the Lord! What a love! What a knowledge! The greatest knowledge in the world a man can ever have or know is the knowledge of Jesus Christ who is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of His person, and God is love. Therefore, the greatest and most precious knowledge in this world is the knowledge of the love of God - to know that God loves me.

My dear one, do you have this knowledge of Jesus? Have you known the love of God that is so real that He willfully sent His only Son to die for you, so that you can know that you are a loved of God and be saved from this present evil age and the corruption awaiting for those who don't believe? If not, you can stop right now and ask God right where you are to show you how much He loves you. He is more willing and eager to show and reveal His love to you than you want to know it. Once you know His great love you can rejoice with me in glorious praises unto His name. Or if you already have known this wondrous love of God let us continue to abide in it and be filled with the fullness of God!

Having this eternal life which is the wonderful knowledge of God and Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and His love for us daily, you and i can enjoy days of heaven on earth!

I want to pray in agreement with the Apostle Peter, "to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord" 2 Peter 1:1-2

All glory be to Jesus my Savior and King!
