Eternal Life Is Now Too…
By
I fear that the Church in general clings to a relationship with God that is seen in Exodus 20:18-19,
Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.”
Like the Israelites, we say to our pastors and teachers, “You speak to God for us.” I have some ideas why we do that but I won’t delve into those here. I will, however, say this:
I implore you with the words of Hebrews 4:16,
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
If you are not enjoying God personally, you are missing out on the life Christ paid for you to have. Hear the words of Christ in John 17:3,
And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Eternal life is now too…
Enjoy Him today.
