Jesus Guarantees Eternal Life in Heaven!
Is Death final?
John 11:25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
The most important question we must ask of ourselves and others is:
What do we believe about JESUS?
Do you believe that HE is the:
1. Resurrection & The Life?
2. That JESUS is our LORD & SAVIOR?
Choose to believe that no matter how bad you have been or how bad it seems, if YOU Believe, and live a life pleasing to him, you can have Life instead of death.
And your new life in Christ(read Eph. 2:1-10) will testify of Jesus and many will come to Jesus because of YOUR TESTIMONY.(see Rev. 12:11).
Remember, after Lazarus was raised, people came to Mary and believed that Jesus was the son of God.
And when YOU show the New life of Christ in YOU and victory of New Life from dead works, it can cause many to believe as well.
Receiving Jesus guarantees eternal life in Heaven:
*Rom.6:23b The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
*Jn.11:26 Whosoever…believeth in Me shall never die.
*Jn.14:2-3 In My Father’s house are many mansions.
*Jesus returned to Heaven to prepare an Eternal Home for me and you.
*This World is not my home. JESUS PAID for my place in Heaven.
*1Pet.1:3,4 Incorruptible inheritance reserved in Heaven for you.
*2 Cor 1:22. Our inheritance cannot be taken away.
*1Jn.5:11 God hath given to us eternal life…in His Son.
*John 17:3 to know Jesus is to have Eternal Life.
2 Cor 1:3. God is our comfort and we can comfort others and use that affliction to help others.
*God allows my suffering so he can speak into the lives of those who are not believers.
1 Peter 3:15. Always be prepared to give an answer for the hope you have.
We are more than conquerors!
Do we understand the future that is coming?
John 6:47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.
***1 Corinthians 15:51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
*The day Jesus Christ was conceived was the very beginning of the end of death.
** God put that miracle seed in Mary to be LIFE for this world and to take back the grip that death had over the world. Those that believe in Jesus Christ boasts that death has been destroyed lowered to inactivity deemed incapable of ravishing as it once did.
Experiencing God’s Love is the only thing that will give us hope for the future, even when we can’t understand the way in which He leads us.
* “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me…”Psalm 23:4
When were winning in Jesus Christ death is swallowed up in victory.
* We have been set free from the law of sin for old things have passed away.
So when you are feeling down when a love one is sick, things are at there worst, problems arising- Remember that’s similar of death and with God on our side we will always be VICTORIOUS because he sent his Son Jesus to defeat all that is bound by darkness.

Isaiah 43:1 But now, OJacob, listen to the LORD who created you. OIsrael, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
*Revelation 3:5 All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.
* Victorious are those who commit to living their lives as Christ did.
* I praise God for knowing that my name is written in the Book of Life. Just because I’ve accepted Christ into my heart and my name is written in the Book of Life, does not mean that I can sit back and coast. I must remain faithful to God and my spiritual life continue to grow.
