“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” -1 John 5:11-13
A great life lived without Jesus is not truly great! It’s a short-term illusion that will end in destruction.
On the other hand, no matter how difficult life is for a believer in Jesus here on earth, the end result is eternal life in heaven!
Real life is only found in Jesus (v.12)! The path may at times look easier elsewhere or the grass may occasionally seem greener in the world, but there’s no good alternative to real life in Jesus!
Jesus offers eternal life in heaven, life to the full here on earth (John 10:10), and the opportunity to experience amazing grace, authentic love, and deeply fulfilling purpose! In Jesus, despite any difficulties you face, your best is always yet to come!
No matter how hard the journey is and no matter how distracting the world may be, never forget that the only life you really want is in Jesus! Real life is only found in Him!
Right on?
Read/listen to 1 John chapters 4-5 and 2 John chapter 1
Prayer focus: talk to God about any temptations or distractions pulling you toward the world, and thank God for real life in Jesus, regardless of what challenges you face
