This devotional invites you to journey with us and explore Jesus’s teachings about eternal life.

Bible Verse
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Meaning
This verse centralizes the heart of the gospel and Jesus’s teachings on eternal life. It begins by declaring God’s immeasurable love for all humanity. Despite our sins and imperfections, God loves us so much that He gave His only son, Jesus. Here, “gave” does not just mean offering but sacrificing. Jesus’s death on the cross signifies this ultimate sacrifice.
The verse then transitions into the promise – the guarantee of eternal life for all who believe in Jesus Christ. Believing here is more than just knowledge about or agreement with Jesus; it requires personal commitment and trust in Him. This belief saves us from perishing, meaning separation from God, and instead grants us eternal life.
Eternal life is not merely about endless existence. It comprises a deep and lasting relationship with God – a life marked by His presence, love, and grace beginning here on earth and extending into eternity.
