Have You Thought about the God-given Everlasting Life? 

When someone dies, he is cut off completely from the world. No matter how rich and opulent he may have been on this earth, nothing belongs to him anymore once he is dead. 

John 17:3: “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” The Bible says here that the way for us to attain everlasting life is to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom God the Father sent. The phrase “the only true God” here means that there is no other divine being than our God. Even though people believe in different deities each on his own, only God the Father is the true God. That is why the Apostles said that the way to receive everlasting life is realizing who the real God is and knowing Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. 

Jesus Christ came to this earth with three offices that is, the King, the High Priest and the Prophet, and He knew all about us as God, as well as the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Prophet. In other words, the Lord knew that we as mankind were born as piles of sins destined for hell because of these sins. That is why Jesus had to bear all our sins on His own body and be condemned to death on the Cross in our place. We must take this Truth of how Jesus saved us to the depths of our hearts. We must realize that Jesus Christ is the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Prophet who knows all about us. 

Like this, the Bible says that eternal life is about knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ who was sent by Him. The way for us as mankind to attain everlasting life is to know God, and to know Jesus Christ who was sent by God the Father, and to know and believe that when Christ came to this earth He shouldered all our sins by being baptized for our sake, died on the Cross, and rose up from the dead. By truly believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit we will receive the remission of our sins from Jesus, and receive a blessedly attained eternal life.
