John 5:24 - Eternal Life Now.

John 5:24 (NIV) I tell you the truth, 
whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me 
has eternal life and will not be condemned; he 
has crossed over from death to life. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I know little about nuclear fission or 
uranium and other elements used in making nuclear 
explosives. Yet I believe in the atomic bomb, and so do 
you. But how can we believe that it exists, if we 
don't understand it or have any scientific 
knowledge about the way it works? 
   The answer is obvious. Others understand 
nuclear fission even if we don't, and others have 
seen what happens when a nuclear reaction takes 
place, even if we haven't. We read what they say, 
and we accept it as the evidence of reliable 
witnesses. 
   I spend much of my time perusing the 
pages of a book - the Bible. In it I discover that 
centuries ago God acted and spoke, and reliable 
witnesses have written it down. God even guided them 
as they wrote, so that now I read the very 
words of God Himself. 
   I may not understand everything there is 
to know about God - but I know Him and trust 
Him, because I read of Him in the Bible. Most of 
all, I know He came down to this earth in the 
person of His Son, and "grace and truth came by 
Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). 
   Advanced degrees are nice, and the 
ability to read Greek and Hebrew is impressive.  
Yet, over the years, many of the most moving 
testimonies have been from those who claimed the 
promise: because the Bible tells me so. [Hope 
for Each Day by Billy Graham] 

CLOSING THOUGHT

Everlasting life; This declaration is more 
than a promise of eternal life to come; it is an 
assurance that the believer now and here may begin to 
enjoy life that is eternal in quality, because he 
is united spiritually with His Lord, whose life 
He shares. The Spirit of God, received into 
the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life 
eternal (DA 388). [SDA Bible Commentary]
