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.

and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.” – Jeremiah 17:10

and destroy them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.” – Psalm 94:23
“25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.” – Psalm 102:25-27
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16

Thank you ma.

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.
Even if our sins are bigger than what we imagine, if we confess all of them before God, he is willing and just to forgive us.
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

Actually it’s quite an interesting write up,i learnt alot.But i will be sharing a little.I learnt that Jesus is my life and God loved me so much that he gave his only begotten son (Jesus)to die for my sins.And, because of this i also have become God’s begotten.Thank you very much ma for what you doing.
You are truly inspiring we the young and i will love to have someone who can guide in this areas.Once thank you ma.
Firstly, The gift of Eternal life is born out of the love God have for us, therefore no need to be troubled because our God is truly the ancient of days.
Secondly,this endless life is a gift God has given to us in christ jesus(John 3:16). Makes me remember my favourite part of the scripture which says I’m the righteousness of God in Christ jesus therefore I live with the consciousness that will be seated on the right hand of the father soon. God is our reason for living, in him we live, move and have out being.
I’ve learnt and hold fast to this lesson that God has been there and will still remain even after this evil world passes, so I’ll always remember God has been there even before all the problems I am facing and after my travails in this world, I have hope of eternal life in God’s kingdom
Wow. So lovely. This is a reminder that God loves us then, now and forever as his children since he sent his only son Jesus christ to die for us on the cross and give us eternal life. It’s also a reminder to always read the Bible . LOL
This is really reminding us about God’s Goodness which is, “giving us the gift of eternal”. Life without this gift is eternal damnation.
Thank you ma for sharing this with us

Thank you so much ma for this very important reminder about God’s love for us. The very first lines got my attention and increased my hopes, “As Christians, we have no reason to be downcast because we have the greatest gift of all”
Seeing the way the times been hard, the hardship has made many people to loose hope. But as christians we can’t been discouraged by what we see as we should look up to God as he has given us assurance with his word which is a yardstick of our lives on earth.
Life without God is vanity we should seek for eternal life
As Christians we face temptations and encounter difficulties in life but we shouldn’t forget that God is with us in all ramifications. We should follow Jesus to gain eternal salvation.
Thanks for sharing ma.
The gift of salvation should be the foundation of a Christian’s perspective on life, and that this perspective can help them overcome any adversity they may encounter
Eternal life is from God and He gives it to those who diligently seek him.
The most precious gift is that of eternal life and this should be every man’s desire.
This post is a reminder of man’s impermanence on earth and the call to seek eternal life.
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
Eternal life is precious
Accessible to all but limited to those who are ready to stick to God
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.
