THE NARROW PATH TO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD - DAY 68

Day 68

Eternal Life

John 17:1–3 (AMP), WHEN JESUS had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You. [Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.

The Narrow Path to Relationship with God is the path to eternal life. As we travel along this path of obedience Jesus uses the circumstances we face to mold us into His image and reveal Himself and Father to us.

Jesus desires to reveal Himself and give you eternal life. He is not waiting until you are good enough to reveal Himself. The sacrifice of His blood on the cross makes those that receive Him as Lord and Savior good enough!  Jesus did it all on the cross and even sent Holy Spirit to help and guide us into an eternal life-giving relationship.

Our part is to simply to pray and obey the commandment to love and He will do the rest.

Ending Thoughts

Don’t let fear keep you from knowing God. It is His great pleasure to bring you into relationship with Him.
