You Need To Do More Than Read The Bible To Receive Eternal Life.

John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.  ( New King James Version) "The word "search" is  ereuano  in Greek, and means "to search, examine into." It can imply "to search by uncovering; to search minutely; to explore; to strip, to make bare; to search by feeling, by touch." "Homer, in  The Iliad , used this word to indicate a lioness and her dedication to her cubs. They were lost, and she was on a huge plain searching very carefully everywhere. In  The Odyssey , he used the same word to picture a dog tracking its prey - having its nose on the ground and never losing the scent. "Metaphorically, it can be used to describe one digging deep for treasure and precious metal, breaking every single clod that nothing would be missed. It means to shake and to sift until every meaning o...

In John 5:24 Jesus says: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” When it comes to being alive or dead, Jesus places people in two categories.   Jesus identifies these two groups of people in the above verse.   The difference between these two groups is that those who are spiritually alive have heard Jesus’ words and believed in the One who sent Him, whereas the latter do not and are spiritually dead.   To understand the verse, it must be understood that Jesus is talking about a person spiritually.

UNDERSTANDING JESUS CHRIST, WHO HE HIS AND WHY HE DIED, IS YOUR TICKET TO ETERNAL LIFE AND IMORTALITY! The following passage is a vivid description of the Christian's Lord and Savior , Jesus Christ . It Clearly gives us a clear picture of His life how He was despised, tortured and executed. It Also tells us that this was done by God, His Father, in order to provide salvation for mankind. But, all that is not the only remarkable part about this passage, (LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR, THAT IS THE IMPORTANT PART, but not the only remarkable part). The other remarkable part about this passage is that it was written by a prophet of God more than 700 years before Jesus Christ was even born. This passage is clear evidence of the death of Jesus as a powerful atonement where Jesus substituted His very life in a sacrificial death so that we who deserve to die may have eternal life .   "And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up befo...
