Scripture Reading: John 5:16-30
Focus Verse: John 5:24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.”
In our focus verse Jesus tells believers three things that happen when we first believe. First, Jesus says that the new believer has eternal life. Our eternal life starts the moment we believe, not when we die in this earthly body. Second, Jesus told new believers that we will not come into the judgement of God, because Jesus already paid for the penalty for our sins. Thirdly, Jesus is teaching that a new believer has passed from death to life. Without faith, and without trusting God we would face eternal death. Separated from God forever. The only way for us to pass from death to life is to repent from sin, receive this gift of Jesus, that God is offering to us and to trust him as Lord. There is nothing we can do to earn it or deserve it. Have you trusted Jesus or are you still trying to "be good enough"?
