Eternal salvation
If you could take one scripture in all of the New Testament that amplifies the gospel message, this is it. And if there’s any doubt in your mind as to whether you have eternal salvation, examine this closely. Jesus speaking to the crowd and his disciples, so it is Spirit-filled truth. It is so clear.
Truly, truly
When Jesus begins with truly, truly, he means for us to listen carefully; that it’s extremely important. So what is he saying?
- Whoever hears his words of truth, the gospel in particular
- And believes God, his Father, is the one who sent him
- HAS eternal life—not possibly, maybe, but HAS-immediate
- Does not come into judgment as a non-believer
- And get this—has passed from death to life!!
