eternal life!

hey y`all!
todays been pretty boring. i've done nothing but sit around. church tomorrow :] yay. i miss ashley, haha. i wish she'd come home from the beach. but i hope shes having a good time. anyway, i did my devotion lats night on eternal life! because i know that i'll have eternal life with Jesus, but will you? God gave me the chance to witness to this girl today, she didnt take it very well, but its up to God now. he told me to do it, so i did. she really doesnt like me very much, and i've never done anything to her or said athing bad about her, and she just hates me, and well i figure thats not very Christlike and so i fiound out she didnt believe in God, and so i witnessed to her, well maybe she listened i dont know, but i know anything is possible through God and its up to him now :] i planted the seed. so anyway, back to my devotion...eternal life. well lets see what the bible has to say about it...1 John 5:11-13 says, "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 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 of the name of the Son of God." soo...first thing about eternal life...we can only acheive it through Jesus-the Son of God, it says "...and this life is in his Son" so if we accept Jesus, we will have life, eternal life, but without Jesus, we're not really alive. John 11:25-26 says, "Jesus said unto her, I am the ressurection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live and who soever lifeth and believeth in me shall never die" which tells us again, through Jesus we have eternal life because he is our life. like Eric was talking about in sunda school he said that the importance of Jesus's resurrection is that the penalty for sin is death, and Jesus overcame death. so it is only through im that we can be saved. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 says, "But thou, O man of God flee these thigns and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good flight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before man witnesses" which tells us we should live rigteous lifes after we accept Jesus and also we get eternal life because we profess our faith with our mouth! so basically, eternal life is only accomplishable through Jesus Christ!
i love y`all!
God Bless!
