The Testimony That God Has Given Us!

1John; 5:11-12
(And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)
It doesn't get any more plain than this statement. The world will tell you that you can find many ways to eternal life. But that is totally wrong because the witness of God tells us that with out the Son of God, (Jesus) you don't have life. I believe in God's witness rather than the world witness.

There will be many who go through life assuming they have eternal life because they have believed the worlds lies. Then at the judgement they will be cast into the Lake of Fire. All because they have refused the free gift of life which is in Jesus Christ our Lord. I can't understand why anyone would want to risk their eternal life by listening to the world. When you give your life to Jesus you have peace that only He is able to give you. You know that your eternal life is secure in Him because He tells you that no one is able to snatch you out of His hand.

Maybe you have been ridiculed because of your faith and have not witnessed for Jesus. Sometimes it is easier for a Christian to say nothing than to stand up for God and be ridiculed. But we should always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in us. The world just doesn't understand spiritual knowledge and is unable to understand it. They just can't grasp it no matter how hard they try so they lash at you trying to make you feel like a "know it all".
1Corinthians; 2:14
(But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.)
The Holy Spirit gives us His saints the capacity to discern divine truths. The world doesn't have this capacity so they ridicule you as a know it all.

Consider yourself blessed when you are persecuted for the name of Christ. You are not alone because they have persecuted those who came before you and they will persecute you as well as those who come after you.
Matthew; 5:11-12
("Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.)
Believe the witness of God because it is impossible for God to lie.

God Bless You!
