The Gift of Eternal Life from the Everlasting God
As Christians, we have no reason to be downcast because we have the greatest gift of all- the gift of eternal life from the everlasting God.
The Bible declares that, “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God.” – John 1:1
That Word was later made flesh and dwelt among humans (John 1:12). His name is Jesus the Christ.
That means that all through history, He has existed. Whether men acknowledged or defied Him, He has remained the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
“For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.” – Psalm 97:9
“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.” – 1 Chronicles 29:11
Therefore, there is no need to be troubled. Our God is truly the Ancient of Days. He has always been here and He will always be here. He knows all the imaginations of men’s hearts and how evil they can be.
“My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.” – Jeremiah 16:17
And after humans have done their worst and He has dispensed with them, He will remain for His years never end (Psalm 102:27). As Psalm 90:2 affirms, from everlasting to everlasting, He is God.
This His endless life is the gift He has given us in Christ (John 3:16). That means that we too will outlive the evil in the world. We may suffer persecution in the interim but we have an indestructible life in God through our Lord Jesus (Hebrews 7.16). Hallelujah!
How to Receive this Gift of Eternal Life
You need to acknowledge in prayer to God that you are a sinner as everyone has been and receive His forgiveness and redemption offered through Christ.
You can do so by praying this sinner’s prayer:
Our Father in heaven, I thank You for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I receive forgiveness and salvation through His sacrifice on Calvary. I thereby receive the gift of eternal life which You have promised those who believe in Him and the Holy Spirit to live in my heart as a witness and counselor. Thank you for saving me in Jesus’ name.

Thanks ma for reminding us how precious the gift of eternal life is
Glory to God!
As a Christian we should always be conscious of the way we live our life and also be grateful because we have the greatest gift of all which is the gift of eternal life from everlasting God
Indeed God’s gift of eternal life is the the most precious.
Yes. That is why we should share the good news. Many are too distracted and deceived by riches and the pleasures of this life to care about eternal life.
God bless you!
God bless you ma for this work, anyone who follows your post will thrive in faith.
One thing I learned is that God is a sovereign God has set me as His child above all things especially privileged to be loved by Him.
Secondly, Something struck me while I went through this, “trouble does not last forever but God does.” Any challenge I find myself going through, will hold on to God, for my problems will end one day but God will never, He will grant me victory as long as I embrace Him.
Thank you ma.
Thank you very much, Ma, for making us remember how precious the gift of eternal life is and how important it is to every man.
That is the gospel we have been commissioned to preach and it’s no lie because God sacrificed His only Son to grant us that life.
Thanks, ma, for the reminder of the gift of eternal life and how precious it is such who have found it should cherish it.
Thanks for refreshing our spirit in the Lord.

Lovely prayer!
Thank you ma for making us know how precious eternal life is and that it’s only through God’s son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins that we can receive eternal life.
For God is the word and the world is without form or void when he isn’t there.
Thank you ma, for reminding us once more that without God we remain void as the world was before his coming.
Thank you ma for helping me to have a deeper understanding of how important eternal life is.
Thank you ma for shedding light on John 1:1. I saw it in a new view today.

Thank you ma for this beautiful piece. It has really inspired me.
God love is the greatest and it supercedes all, May we never stay in sin that grace may abound. Thank you, ma.
Having an understanding about Christ is one thing, May we continue to remain steadfast in doing the will of God.
Thank you ma for reminding me that I have no reason to be afraid even in times of persecution because I have the most high supreme ruler by my side.
Indeed no greater gift than the gift of eternal life.
I learnt that in him we have redemption through his blood and he is always ready to forgive our sins
Wonderful 🥺

Without Jesus human life is worthless and meaningless, that’s why he(Jesus) took the cross, sufferings to give human life meaning.
He promise to always be with us till end of time.. holding him(Jesus) by his words,will we be able to obtain his mercies, favor and blessings promised to us through Abraham our Father. We are advised to remember the sacrifice of Christ on cross and live for him.
A timely message. God bless you ma.
Every man born of a woman is a sinner but if you accept Jesus you will have eternal life.
As a christian you may suffer but your reward is eternal life
Indeed God’s love for us is eternal and free to all who call upon him.
Life actually makes no sense without God,He already loved us so much,we only have to obey and follow his way and we will enjoy life both here on earth and in heaven

Aunty Edith, this is the second post I have read on this blog. Long time ago, it was revealed to my by the Holy Spirit that the Lord’s will for me is to preach the gospel to many and to set an example in my generation while in the University. But ephemeral things deviated my mind from fulfilling His work. Thank you, ma, for reminding a labourer in God’s vineyard about her agreement with the Master. God bless you, ma.
Hallelujah!
Indeed God’s gift of eternal life is the the most precious thing we have as humans.
Indeed the gift of eternal life is the the most valuable gift
The gift of eternal life is the greatest gift anyone can have
Thank you ma for reminding that there is really no reason to be troubled, for God has always been here and he will always be here.
I remain indebted to the Lord for the gift of salvation. Thank you Jesus for coming to die for a wretched sinner like myself.
The gift of eternal life is indeed the greatest gift. God bless you,ma.
