RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S THE LIFE THAT WORKS IN YOU – MAKING ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.
RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS TODAY — for it is the LIFE that makes in you all the DIFFERENCE for today and tomorrow, knowingly and unknowingly.
For you are more like a THERMOSTAT in Christ Jesus and not a THERMOMETER in functionality, by the ETERNAL LIFE within you.
The knowing that you are beautifully, wonderfully and fearfully — reverently made by God [Psalm 139:14], and that you are in POSSESSION of His in-built ETERNITY — an eternal spirit — within you, makes all the difference in you today and tomorrow — [Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP].
And the knowing and understanding that this ETERNITY in-built POSSESSION of God is in your being should be the most awesome, gracious and graceful possession in your well-being of doing life and living godly day by day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.
For you are a spirit-being, having a soul, living in a HUMUS — that is the body — which makes you a HU-MAN BEING, as in the Holy writ of 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13.
It is the MAN in your HU-MAN that makes the being — that’s the spirit being.
It is non-gender, non-colour, non-race, and non-tongue, and unlimited by geographical location.
And it dwells in all beings — BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVERS alike — leading either to heaven or hell.
And it is God’s ESSENCE in every human being, irrespective — [Proverbs 20:27; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7].
When you receive Christ into your life, you receive the very life of God called — ETERNAL LIFE [ZOE in Greek] — [John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:11-12].
And Jesus PRAYED along that line for you too — [John 17:3].
This ETERNAL LIFE of God gives life and breath — the life of God through your in-built eternal spirit into your entire being.
Meaning you receive the capacity to function in the realm of ETERNITY in the midst of humanity — the human world sphere.
NOTE THESE POSITIONAL ESSENCE FOR YOUR APPROPRIATION:
- You are BLESSED and your BLESSEDNESS is SET in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:3
- You are SET at God’s right hand in Christ Jesus in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 2:6.
- Jesus Christ is SET at the Father God’s right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:20.
When you understand this, it does not only affect your horizon of reasoning and trajectory of doing life, but you can boldly say and declare as in the epistle of 1 John 4:17 that “LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.”
This understanding makes all the difference in the way you live and do life; in the way you see, perceive and receive things; what you say and how you say it, and such like.
This is the only way to discover the works and working of God for your recovery into triumphant living in the world.
It helps to colour your life, to thrive in grace, and to determine the atmosphere you want to live in and enjoy as a THERMOSTAT and not as a THERMOMETER.
For as a THERMOSTAT you create and determine the life-sphere condition that you want to see and enjoy, as God did for Himself in creation [Genesis 1:1-31];
while as a THERMOMETER you do not create, define, or determine the life and sphere condition you want to see or enjoy, but you absorb and take in the condition that has been set around you to have, see, and do life — irrespective of whether you like it or not.
And such is not the place you need to be, for it distorts the redemptive rights and privileges of ETERNITY in you, in Christ Jesus for you.
RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY — IT’S THE LIFE THAT MAKES IN YOU — ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
I pray that you understand this and receive eternal life today, and define your HAPPINESS and PEACE in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
Be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

KEY POINTS
- ETERNAL LIFE IS GOD’S IN-BUILT PURPOSE IN MAN
God planted ETERNITY in your heart — “He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also, He has put ETERNITY in their hearts [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]” [Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP].
You are fearfully and wonderfully made — “I will praise thee; for I am FEARFULLY [REVERENTLY] and WONDERFULLY made” [Psalm 139:14].
You are a spirit-being — You have a soul and live in a HUMUS body, making you a HU-MAN BEING [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13]. The MAN in HU-MAN is the spirit — God’s ESSENCE in every person [Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27].
This spirit is eternal — It dwells in BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVERS alike and determines destiny: heaven or hell.
- HOW YOU RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE
By receiving Christ — When you receive Christ, you receive ETERNAL LIFE [ZOE in Greek] — the very life of God [John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:11-12].
“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” [1 John 5:11-12].
Jesus prayed for it — “And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” [John 17:3].
Result: This life gives life and breath through your eternal spirit into your entire being, and gives you capacity to function in the realm of ETERNITY while in the human world.
- YOUR POSITIONAL REALITY IN CHRIST
When you have ETERNAL LIFE, your position changes:
You are BLESSED and your BLESSEDNESS is SET in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 1:3]
You are SET at God’s right hand in Christ Jesus in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 2:6]
Jesus Christ is SET at the Father God’s right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 1:20]
Therefore you can declare: “LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.” [1 John 4:17]
- THERMOSTAT VS THERMOMETER: THE FUNCTION OF ETERNAL LIFE
THERMOSTAT — With ETERNAL LIFE you create and determine the life-sphere condition you want to see and enjoy, as God did in creation [Genesis 1:1-31]. You colour your life, thrive in grace, and set the atmosphere.
THERMOMETER — Without functioning in ETERNAL LIFE you only absorb the conditions around you, whether good or bad. This distorts the redemptive rights and privileges of ETERNITY in you.
Impact: This understanding changes how you see, perceive, receive, speak, and do life. It is the only way to discover God’s works for your recovery into triumphant living.
