JOHN 5:24 i(NKJV)
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”
This verse highlights that believers immediately possess eternal life and are exempt from guilt and condemnation. It offers immediate assurance of salvation, transforming our spiritual status from death to life through faith in JESUS CHRIST. JESUS makes a profound promise here: eternal life is not just a future hope; it is a present possession for those who hear and believe. The phrase "has passed from death into life" implies a completed action—a spiritual transfer that has already occurred the moment you and I believe. We no longer live under the fear of guilt, sin and condemnation, but in the freedom of grace. This assurance allows us to live with confidence, knowing our future is secure, not because of our works, but because of our faith in the Son who came from the FATHER. His obedience to fulfill the FATHER’s will secured our forgiveness, salvation, and the gift of eternal life.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord JESUS, I thank You for Your Word and the incredible promise of eternal life. I believe in You and in the FATHER who sent You. Thank You that I have passed from death to life, and I do not come into judgment. Help me to live in this reality daily, walking in the freedom and hope You have given me, free from fear, guilt and shame. In Your Holy Name, Amen.
