New life right now
Dear children,
As followers of Jesus Christ, we've received an incredible gift - eternal life that starts right now, not just in the future. This isn't something far-off or theoretical; it's real and happening for each believer.
In 1 John 5:11-13, it's explained: "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." This passage makes it clear that eternal life comes from having a relationship with Jesus. When we believe in Him, we're connected to His eternal life.
This isn't just about living forever; it's about experiencing life in a whole new way. Jesus said in John 10:10, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." He's talking about a rich, fulfilling life that's marked by joy, peace, and closeness to God. And this isn't something we have to wait for; it's available to us right now.
So, as someone who follows Jesus, I encourage you to embrace this new life and enjoy it fully. You're not held back by your past or by what's happening in the world around you. Instead, you've been remade in Christ, and you can look forward to spending eternity with Him. Let this truth sink in and live every day to the fullest, knowing that you're loved and saved by Jesus.
Love,
Dad
