And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. –John 17:3 (NLT)
THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Our lives here earth are not everlasting
They are fleeting and there’s no point in clinging
Are you preoccupied with worldly matters?
Do you heed God’s call to help your sisters and brothers?
The way to eternal life is to know Christ
If you seek him you will have insight
Believe and follow the only one true God
You are guaranteed a place in heaven up above.
Many people believe different concepts about life and death and after life. Sadly, even some Christians find it hard to believe in eternal life. Knowing one thing does not necessarily mean that you believe it. Sometimes, our head gets in the way of faith. Our limited minds tell us that we need to be convinced first by seeing or experiencing before we get persuaded to trust that God gives everlasting life.
The bible tells us that the way to have eternal life is to know God and Jesus Christ. Even Jesus’ disciples didn’t quite comprehend the concept of eternal life while Jesus was still among them despite the many miracles they witnessed. Jesus wants us to know him to have endless life.
