Episode 358: What is eternal life according to the scriptures? Part 1

Hello everyone. In this mornings Bible study we continue to look at the basis for the scriptures given to us by God.

What are these basis'? God is:
1. Revealing His attributes
2. Revealing His reconciliation plan
3. Revealing His Redeemer

That's what the entirety of the Bible is about. It is not about you and I receiving any earthly thing from the LORD. It is not about how we modify our behavior, love our family, remain in good health, or any other thing that can so-call make our lives better here on this planet.

That's foolishness as we will lose all those things as we age, by decisions we make, and lose it all at death. Everyone will REAP WHAT THEY SOW. We will also reap the consequences of all the sins we humans commit corporately. There is no escape from that.

Then what can we do? Do? There is nothing we can do. God has to "do" it for us and He did. It's called the gospel of Jesus Christ. Listen to what the Lord Jesus said to people living during His tenure here on earth who asked Him the same question.

John 6:28-29
Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, THAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE SENT."

That is the answer to your question.

Today's study is 1 hour and 11 minutes in duration. I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 1 of 2 titled What is eternal life according to the scriptures. Part 1
