in the graves shall hear His voice,
29
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection
of Life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation.

Search The Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal Life: and
they are they which testify of Me.

gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

John
17:1-3 KJV
1
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said,
Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may
glorify thee:
2
As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give
eternal Life to as many as thou hast given Him.
3
And this is Life eternal, that they might know thee The Only True
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Romans
2:7 NLT
He
will give eternal Life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after
the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
Romans
5:20,21 NLT
20
God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they
were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace
became more abundant.
21
So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now
God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with
God and resulting in eternal Life through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Romans
6:23 KJV
For
the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal Life
through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Romans
8:11 KJV
But
if The Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal
bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
I
Corinthians 15:51-57 KJV
51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed.
53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
II
Corinthians 5:1 NLT
For
we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that
is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in
heaven, an eternal body made for us by God Himself and not by human
hands.
Galatians
6:8 KJV
For
he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that soweth to The Spirit shall of The Spirit reap Life
everlasting.
I
Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT
13
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will
happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like
people who have no hope.
14
For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to Life again, we
also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him
the believers who have died.
15
We tell you this directly from The Lord: We who are still living when
The Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.
16
For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of
God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.
17
Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the
earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air.
Then we will be with The Lord forever.
18
So encourage each other with these words.
I
Timothy 1:15-17 NLT
15
This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of
them all.
16
But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime
example of His great patience with even the worst sinners. Then
others will realize that they, too, can believe in Him and receive
eternal Life.
17
All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is The Eternal King,
the unseen one who never dies; He alone is God. Amen.
I
Timothy 6:12,19 KJV
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.
I
John 1:2 NLT
This
One who is Life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen Him. And
now we testify and proclaim to you that He is The One who is eternal
Life. He was with The Father, and then He was revealed to us.
I
John 2:25 KJV
And
this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal Life.
I
John 5:11-13,20 KJV
11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal Life, and
this Life is in His Son.
12
He that hath The Son hath Life; and he that hath not The Son Of God
hath not Life.
13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of The
Son Of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal Life, and that ye
may believe on the name of The Son Of God.
20
And we know that The Son Of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know Him that is True, and we are in Him
that is True, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is The True God, and
eternal Life.
Think of all the many things we have as Christians, and
yet they would all pass away, were it not for the gift of eternal
life!
Eternal Life is a gift to all who repent and forsake
their sin and accept The Lord Jesus, God's Son into their lives,
making Him The Master of their lives.
If people could buy eternal life, what do you think
they would pay? They would be willing to pay everything they own, and
yet that is impossible, for eternal life cannot be bought.
Ephesians
2:8,9 KJV
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is The Gift Of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Salvation is freely extended to all, and though it is
free (a gift) it will demand of you everything.
Matthew
16:24 KJV
Then
said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
John
10:28 KJV
And
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of My hand.
Dear friend, these words of Jesus are meant for you!
Call upon the Savior today, making Him The Lord and
Master of your life!
Prayer:
Psalm 86:5 KJV
For
thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
John 6:37,40,47 KJV
37 “...him that cometh to Me I
will in no wise cast out.”
40 And this is the will of Him that
sent Me, that every one which seeth The Son, and believeth on Him,
may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.
