John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Eternal life is not merely an afterlife promise; it is the intimate knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. This verse reveals that eternal life begins the moment we come to know God truly. In this relationship, we find purpose, identity, and a profound sense of belonging. Knowing God transforms us, aligning our values with His, and shaping us into reflections of His love and truth. This verse is a powerful reminder that our salvation is not just a future hope but a present reality. Eternal life is about living in God’s presence daily, guided by His wisdom and grace. It challenges us to deepen our relationship with Him, to seek His will in all things, and to live in a way that honors Him. Through Jesus, we have access to this life-giving relationship, one that offers peace, joy, and fulfillment beyond measure. This verse encourages us to pursue a life of faith, knowing that in Christ, we have found the true meaning of eternal life.
