Permanent life in Him

It is a blessing to share the following message with you.

"All things were made by him, and without him was not anything that was made, life was in him, and life was the light of men." (John 1.3,4)

The Gospel of John shows us many aspects of the divinity of Christ. He begins by explaining that everything originates in God. The apostle Paul also addressed the Athenians in this same tone: "For in him we live, and move, and we exist." (Acts 17, 28a) This means that apart from Christ we do not live, and our existence is summarized in just a continuous vacuum, the joy we feel is transient and in the end it still results in frustration and despair.

Since the fall we are tempted to live independent of God, this is our biggest problem. Christ patiently exhorted some obstinate Jews who insisted on staying like this: "Examine the Scriptures, because you care to have eternal life in them, and they are the ones that testify of me, and you do not want to come to me to have life." (John 5:39, 40) We should never forget that we were created to live in a continuous relationship with our heavenly Father, for he alone is the source of all our well-being.



Although sin broke our relationship with God at the beginning of the world, Christ came to reestablish a new covenant. Before going to the cross He affirmed: "This chalice is the New Testament in my blood, which is poured out for you." (Luke 22:20) From Gethsemane to Calvary Christ suffered and was sacrificed so that we might be saved. That being the case, only he has and can offer life for all. In Revelation 22.17 He expresses himself thus: "Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whosoever will, take the water of life with grace." Even if we fail He is ready to restore us. In 1 John 1.9 we read: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive sins, and purify us from all unrighteousness." Then it does not make up for staying lifeless away from him.

From experience we know that sin only causes sadness and defeat besides making us feel miserable and hopeless. However, in Romans 5.6 we read: "For Christ, while we are still weak, died in his own time for the ungodly, Christ came as the light of the world to dispel any darkness that comes from our hearts. and multiplies the strength to which he has no strength. "(Isaiah 40.29) Are we experiencing joy as the fruit of a relationship with God? In Him is life!
