ETERNAL LIFE BIBLE STUDY
CHRISTIANITY OASIS
HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS ETERNAL LIFE BIBLE STUDY. THIS
ETERNAL LIFE BIBLE STUDY LOOKS INTO ETERNAL LIFE IN THE
BIBLE AND ASKS WHAT IS ETERNAL LIFE, WHO RECEIVES ETERNAL
LIFE, WHEN DOES ETERNAL LIFE BEGIN AND HOW DOES ETERNAL LIFE
AFFECT CHRISTIANS. THIS ETERNAL LIFE BIBLE STUDY WILL OPEN YOUR EYES, MIND AND
HEART. MOST HAVE HEARD
OF THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
ETERNAL LIFE REALLY MEANS OR HOW TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN ETERNAL LIFE
IN THEIR CHRISTIAN WALK ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. LET US
SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH WITHIN THE BIBLE OF ETERNAL LIFE TOGETHER IN THIS ETERNAL LIFE
BIBLE STUDY, SHALL WE?
ETERNAL LIFE
What is Eternal Life and how do we obtain Eternal Life?
Just
sounds Heavenly does it not?
Before we look into the Eternal Life
issue, here is a question ...
With all the injustice in the world, what
is hindering the Lords return?
|
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his
PROMISE,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that
all should come to repentance. |
Jesus
confirms this ...
|
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; AND THEN
shall the end come. |
So we
see that God is waiting for every soul to be able to have
the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior. Kinda cool
that only within the last 50 years or so was this able to
happen. With modern technology, such as television and
satellite
The Gospel of TRUTH is now able to reach many
that would have never had the opportunity before. Add to
that all the missionaries out there and you have the Word of
God being shared with almost everyone at this time, which
could never have been before.
And what of this PROMISE that Peter
spoke of and we always read about in the Bible?
|
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning
his
PROMISE,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that
all should come to repentance. |
|
Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded
all under sin, that the
PROMISE
by FAITH of Jesus Christ might be GIVEN to them that
BELIEVE. |
|
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life, which the Lord hath
PROMISED
to them that love Him. |
|
James 2:5
Hearken, my beloved brethren,
Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in
faith, and HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM which he hath
PROMISED
to them that love Him?
|
|
Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also
after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of
PROMISE, |
What
is this PROMISE that has Christians strive to stay on the
path of Christianity?
Most
imagine the PROMISE as being this Scripture
|
John 14:2-3
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also. |
But,
that is just a small part of the promise. THIS is the
Promise
|
1 John 2:25
And this is the
PROMISE
that he hath promised us, even
ETERNAL LIFE. |
WE ARE PROMISED ETERNAL LIFE ...
|
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is
ETERNAL LIFE
through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
|
Titus 1:2
In hope of
ETERNAL LIFE,
which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world
began;
|
God promised Eternal Life before the World began
Lets go back in time a bit
|
Genesis 2:9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to
grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and
good for food; the
TREE OF LIFE
also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. |
|
Genesis 2:15-17
And the LORD God took the man (Adam), and put him into
the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the
LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of EVERY tree of
the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
THOU SHALT SURELY DIE. |
So God
said that Adam and Eve could eat from EVERY TREE except for
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
|
Genesis 3:1-6
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto
the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat
of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the
serpent said unto the woman,
YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to
the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
|
Now
wait just a sec ... God said they would DIE if they ate from
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the serpent
(Which was satan
Ezekiel 28:13-19)
said they would NOT.
But did they die? Not according
to the story of Adam and Eve.
Then how does one explain
this?
Simple ... In the Garden of
Eden, Adam and Eve HAD Eternal life.
Just
as it is written:
|
Titus 1:2
In hope of
ETERNAL LIFE,
which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world
began;
|
However ... When they CHOSE
to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, they were REMOVED from the Garden of Eden and LOST the
ability to eat from the TREE OF LIFE, which gave them
Eternal Life.
Here
is proof
|
Genesis 3:22-24
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as
one of US, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the TREE OF LIFE, and
eat, and LIVE FOR EVER. Therefore the LORD God sent
him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and
he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,
and a flaming sword which turned every way, TO KEEP
THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE. |
In
other words
They were allowed to eat from EVERY tree
INCLUDING the TREE OF LIFE which gave them Eternal Life, but had chosen to eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil and God sent them out
of the Garden of Eden meaning they could no longer eat from
the TREE OF LIFE so they would now be able to DIE.
So God
was telling the TRUTH when He said
But of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in
the day that thou eatest thereof THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.
. The day they chose to eat from that tree, they were now
subject to DEATH.
Lets
look more into this TREE OF LIFE
|
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the TREE OF
LIFE, and may enter in through the gates into the
city. |
What
is this TREE OF LIFE and what does it do?
|
Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of
it, and on either side of the river, was there the
TREE OF LIFE, which bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations. |
The
leaves could HEAL
I see why one would never die of
disease.
Where
is the TREE OF LIFE?
|
Revelation 2:7
He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the TREE OF
LIFE, which is in the midst of the PARADISE OF
GOD. |
The
Tree of Life is in PARADISE ...
To
learn more about Paradise
See the
Abrahams Bosom
study.
Ok
Back to the Promise of Eternal Life
What must we do to
inherit Eternal Life?
|
John 3:15
That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have ETERNAL LIFE. |
Must
BELIEVE IN JESUS
Sounds easy enough. Anything else? Well a
man once asked Jesus this very question
Here is His
response.
|
Matthew 19:16-22
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have
ETERNAL LIFE? And he said unto him, Why callest thou
me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but
if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy
father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him,
All these things have I kept from my youth up: what
lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, IF THOU WILT BE
PERFECT, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
and follow me. But when the young man heard that
saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great
possessions. |
Uh huh
This did not sit well with the man did it? Ask yourself
when nobody is around
Does it sit well with YOU? Do you
follow the commands of Jesus to inherit Eternal Life? How
much have you surrendered or sacrificed for the Lord?
|
Mark 10:29-30
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall
receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and
brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come
ETERNAL LIFE. |
No matter what you sacrifice or surrender you will
receive a hundredfold more. So you must be willing to surrender all.
From your way of life to even your life IF it comes down to it.
|
John 12:25
He that loveth his life
shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this
world shall keep it unto LIFE ETERNAL. |
Ponder and pray about what you have learned and
fight to hold on to the PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE.
|
1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on ETERNAL LIFE, whereunto thou art also
called, and hast professed a good profession before
many witnesses. |
The
PROMISE was made to YOU.
WILL
YOU TAKE GOD UP ON HIS PROMISE AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO
OBTAIN IT?
THE
CHOICE IS UP TO YOU ...
|
2 Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these PROMISES, dearly
beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness
of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the
fear of God. |
Take
care and have a SON-derful day.
