“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24 (NASB)
We choose this verse especially because of the last words. Jesus used these words because He knows what a big difference comes to us when we believe in God and in His Son Jesus. Jesus said that when we believe we cross over from death to life – He was speaking about our eternal state. When we cross a river by boat or on a bridge we can look back and realize that we are now on the other side. In most places the difference may not be so great but just think of the great difference between eternal death and eternal life. When we believe in Jesus a tremendous change takes place because of this promise. Our lives are transformed and while our present bodies may die, our souls will live forever in God's presence – if we have believed in Him. Now that's a promise we can hold onto and treasure in our hearts.
