If you have entrusted your life to Jesus, you have begun an entirely new life. .
Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence. 2 Co 5:17 GW
You are no longer the same person. You are a son or daughter of the Father in heaven. You have eternal life.
Your eternal life has already begun and will never end.
You are already a citizen of the eternal kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 Jn 5:12 NIV
Jesus is the eternal Son of God. His life belongs to you and your life belongs to him.
You have an eternal love relationship with God.
You are IN Christ and the Spirit of God is in you.
Because Jesus died on the cross for your sins, you no longer have to die for your sins.
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Ro 8:11 NIV
Because you are in Christ, God will not only provide for your needs. He will also bless you with amazing gifts of love.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Ro 8:31–32 NKJV
God's abundant grace has not been given to us to be selfish like spoiled children.
God gives us His heavenly power, wisdom, healing and love to save the world, to bless our fellow human beings, to rescue people from darkness and hell.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jn 3:16 NKJV
Jesus rose from the dead, but he did not remain on earth, but returned to his Father in heaven.
Now we are his representatives on earth.
Jesus has no hands on earth except your hands.
Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Mk 1:40–42 NKJV
What Jesus began, God wants us to continue.
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
... they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mk 16:17–18 NKJV
Jesus' wounded feet are now healed, but you can still see the scars in the sky. Jesus is now walking on streets of gold.
Jesus now has no feet on this earth but your feet. Will you go now to those who need eternal life?
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Mt 28:19–20 NKJV
