Eternal Life
1. The Purpose for the Gospel is Eternal Life.
A. Jesus came to give eternal life. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begoten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
B. Sin were a barrier.
2. Everlasting life is knowing God.
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
A. Everlasting life is not just missing hell.
B. Everlasting life is not just going to heaven.
3. Knowing God is an intimate relationship.
This intimacy is similar to that found in the marriage relationship: Genesis 4:1 – "And Adam knew Eve his wife: and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD."
4. Eternal life is available now.
I John 5:13:
"And these things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God: that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
Galations 1:4:
"Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father."
John 3:36:
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him."
Quality relationship with mankind is God’s goal.
