When a young man wants to propose to a young lady, he might choose to package the engagement ring in a beautiful attractive and alluring box. The box, inspire of how beautiful it looks, is not the main gift, his target is to deliver the contents of the box to the lady he loves.

When you read John 3:16 very well, you see a picture of a God who wanted so much to express His love for mankind through a very precious gift. God packaged this wonderful gift in a man, His Son, Jesus Christ. When you receive Jesus, you become a custodian of this previous gift from God.

What’s the Priceless gift of John 3:16?

Eternal life.

When you receive Jesus into your life as your Lord and Saviour, you receive eternal life.

What’s Eternal Life?

Eternal life is not life in eternity, no, it is here and now. It is a special kind of life, it is everlasting life, never-ending life, continuous life. It is life as God has it.

So in Jesus, God gave man His own life. That same life Adam carelessly lost in Eden due to disobedience, is restored to every man who believes in Jesus Christ.

Benefits of Eternal Life

Being born of God’s Spirit and having His life means you can relate with God freely, you can have fellowship with God because instead being spiritually dead, you are spiritually alive and can commune at that level with God (1John 1:1).

Eternal life keeps you safe from the destroyer (John 10:28).

Eternal life strengthens you to overcome the evil one (1John 4:4).

Being born of God’s Spirit and having God’s life seals you to God (Ephesians 1:13). You are recognized as belonging to God every time and everywhere.

The spirit of God in you, is a steady supply of life to your otherwise perishing body (Romans 8:11).

I am so thankful to God for His gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Halleluyah! Praise God
