Eternal Life, The God Kinda Life by GodsMopol: 2:27pm On Oct 16, 2017
At the first point of creation, God created them male and female, but even with Gen 1:26-28, we needed to wait till Gen2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The above verse said, God formed, not create, when God created man, man was a spirit, until God said, there is a need that there be a man to till the ground, and God molded man. Its like a phone, it has an operating system, but the operating system only exist in a programming software. But after some time, the programmer might fabricate a casing and engine and the touchable part.

Back to man, man was created a spirit, he has a soul(mind, emotion, intelligence and reasoning) and the body house it all, or carries them about.

Many ask questions as to why they are here and how they get here, they long to know their creator and many times, they long so much until the devil or God feel or quench that desire, but that's by the way.

Man as at creation had all things available to him, the reason is, God does not see lack or insufficiently, he always have, and if He doesn't, He creates it. Adam was a good on earth, until the coming or the fall of man, unfortunately, minds have been darkened, wickedness of different type in different places, greed of different kind and oppression from the higher authorities so to say talking about politics now.

But here we are, Jesus is here promising us, eternal life, Jesus would later say in John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,t and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. That eternal life is firstly acquiring a knowledge about God and the personality of Jesus and acting on that knowledge. Acting on the knowledge is an act of faith.

We might have heard of redemption, faith and grace in some sphere of it and here is a short breakdown of it.

Redemption means to bring back to an original state

Faith is majorly speaking or repeating what God or the Bible state and emphasising on that knowledge claiming it as though its yours. Romans 12:2 said we should be transformed by the renewing of our mind, how do you renew your mind, renewing the mind is an act of deleting a former mindset, for instance, satan support evil and wickedness, but Jesus frowns at it. So to renew your mind. You make yourself know from the word that God frowns at stealing and you make up your mind not to steal again. It therefore implies that whenever the thought of stealing arises, you start reminding yourself of what God's word has said, the word is a sword of the spirit, Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Immediately you start saying those words, those thoughts and imagination are dying gradually, and if you take an indepth study of the temptation of Jesus, you realise that, kept saying (speaking out, either loud or out) Jesus spoke and every reply He gave the devil has it is written in them, Jesus also, watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation, what does it mean to watch, cause many times some temptation are just so quick and you are out, do we have to look around us, so we don't fall into temptation. The truth, what's tempting us is not mostly from the outside of us, but it might be emotional or some stirrings that we can't explain. Do we still watch in that sense, but what saith the scriptures, building up yourself on yourself on your most faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Shalom
