You're listening to His light, your path, with Pastor Rod Holler Sr. Today Pastor Holler brings us a devotional titled Everlasting Life. Drawing from a familiar verse, John 3.16, Pastor Holler will challenge us with these questions. If God offers ever-lasting life as a gift, when do we actually receive it? And what does it mean to believe? And now here's Pastor Holler. John chapter 3 verse 16 for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. At who so ever believe within Him should not perish but have ever-lasting life. This verse is rich in truth. It was spoken by Jesus to Nicodemus who was seeking truth. Jesus responded with this concise yet accurate verse that tells how a man is saved. Key points in these words of Jesus. First, for God so loved the
world, He is the God of all and He cares for every man, woman, and child. So loved emphasizes the depth of His love. Second, that He gave. He did not have an emotional love for the world. Rather, He had such a love that had moved Him to action. He proved His love by giving a precious gift. Third, His only begotten Son. He gave what the world needed. His Son to pay the sin debt of the world. The gift of His Son is a gift of unspeakable wealth. Only true love could give such a gift. Fourth, that who so ever the unspeakable gift is offered to every man, woman, and child. No one is excluded from this invitation. Fifth, believe
within Him. The gift is offered freely. The sinner receives this gift by believing in the work of redemption done by Jesus. There are no works involved in receiving this gift. Sixth, the moment a sinner believes in Jesus as His Savior, then two things happen. He will not perish. Go to hell. Rather, He will have everlasting life. Surely we must realize that Jesus told Nicodemus the truth of going to heaven. Jesus gave Nicodemus the words that He needed for everlasting life. Jesus is not an eternity apologizing to Nicodemus because He gave him an inaccurate plan of salvation. So here we have the greatest truth of all time in one verse. Let us appreciate the simplicity of the message. Let us
appreciate the importance of the message. Let us appreciate the urgency of the message. Let us appreciate the value of the message, where it saves a person's eternal soul. And note that the moment the person believes, then he has everlasting life. He does not get everlasting life when he dies. He has it right away. Note again, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believed in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. So then we must ask if a man has everlasting life, then how can he lose it? If he could lose everlasting life, then he did not have everlasting life. But he had temporary probation. By definition, everlasting cannot be lost. This is a great verse of
comfort. Meditate on its simple truths. Believe in Jesus who shed His blood for your soul and appreciate that you can have everlasting life. It is the greatest decision that a person will ever make, where it settles their eternal destiny. Thank you for joining us for today's devotional everlasting life with Pastor Holler. We heard how Jesus' words to Nicodemus hold the greatest truth of all time. Everlasting life isn't something we hope to get someday, and it's not earned by our own efforts. The moment you believe in Jesus Christ, you have everlasting life. God's invitation is for everyone. No one is left out. Join us again tomorrow, right here, for more encouragement from Pastor Holler on His light, your path.
