He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over him continually .” JOHN 3:36 AMP
Truth Facts:
1. Eternity is a choice. Death had come because of sin, and life had been restored by the death of the One who is called Life himself. The invitation has now been made, asking all to believe and trust in the Son, so as to possess eternal life.
2. There is no other message, no other name, no other action that will give you eternal life. The way, means, channel and person who can guarantee that life has been determined. Morals won't get you there; being an active member of a living church is not the guarantee; knowing all the good graces of the Christian church will not give you that life. It is accepting him as Saviour that gives you life. Don't settle for anything less than the complete message; don't let anyone tell you that you are okay as you are without a Saviour.
3. It is certain that there is a life after this present one. The only one who knows what is ahead is the one who has asked us to believe in his son. What would it cost us to believe and accept Christ? When death comes, all the pretence is stripped away, all friends take their leave, and this reality steps in: you are indeed alone and you will face judgment alone. You had better be sure that you have made the right choice and you are headed in the right direction. His time of favour is here.
