Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.  1John 5:12

Eternal life is simply a relationship with Jesus. Start one today!

I have a few favorite verses, and this is one of them.  Some Scriptures take HUGE ideas and make them very easy to understand.

Jesus was teaching in the famous Sermon on the Mount that many people would one day recite their list of reasons why they should be saved.  But Jesus says He will tell them plainly: I never knew you.  All of the righteous acts we do will not be enough to get us into heaven.  We enter by knowing Jesus, and by Jesus knowing us.  The acts of righteousness all come OUT of our relationship with Jesus.

Salvation is simple.  Start a relationship with Jesus.  Surrender your life to Him and make Him your Lord.  If you have the Son over your life, you have eternal life. 

But … if you haven’t started a relationship with God, this is a good time to get one started!  Don’t lose eternal life trying to hold onto your temporary life.  Start one this Christmas season.
