John 6:35-40
Outline
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:40, NIV
Eternal life is the gift of God for those who have responded to God’s invitation and have been saved by the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23b). God secured the gift of eternal life for man through the sacrificial death of Christ (John 3:17). Man sinned against God and was to face the death penalty due his action (Romans 6:23a), but Christ was made a scapegoat in place of man for the sin which He (Christ) knew nothing about.
Through the death of Christ therefore, God was able to procure eternal life for man. Man, thus, needs faith to appropriate this free gift of God. The condition for receiving this free gift of God is by believing in Christ and the proprietary role He played towards the salvation of man (John 3:16; 16:40). In order to receive, therefore, the prize of His life that Christ paid for, you must believe that Jesus is your Saviour and Lord as you look to Him for your salvation. Settle this today and eternal life will be yours.
