And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.
–John 3:36(NLT)
WHO WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who can ever grant you eternity?
Whose kingdom is infinity?
If you believe in God’s promises
You will be granted his righteousness.
Anyone who doesn’t obey the Lord
They will find it hard to give him laud
They will never experience eternal life
They will remain angry and without life.

There were so many talks about “death” and “eternal life” when I was in college. One of my professors challenged me with researching about this topic. I read as much book as I can to expound on this very interesting matter. Even as a child, I was never scared of death. I was the only one in our family who can look at the coffin when we attend a wake or funeral. Somehow, deep inside me, I knew they are in a better place. I always thought that they can now see Jesus. But what is the pre-requisite to have eternal life?
The bible tells us that the key to eternal life is to believe in God’s Son, Jesus. If we don’t, we will remain under God’s angry judgment. It’s almost like turning our backs or not accepting a gift God has given us, the gift of freedom from sin.
PRAYER
Grant me a place in heaven beside you Lord.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God judges those who don’t believe?
