Eternal Life Vs Eternal Death: Choose One? by Onyekachi85(m): 5:13pm On Jun 04, 2019
Eternal life: Is God's life in man, which begins immediately one heard the word of God, accept the word of God, believed the word of God and received the word of God which is Jesus Christ, as his personal Lord and Savior.

The seed of Eternal life is planted in the heart of every believer by the Holy Ghost. Once you become born again, washed by the blood and are regenerated. The Holy Spirit will now step in and dwell in you by giving you a new life, and also take you into a glorious union with God.

This kind of life man gets when he is saved is something that separates him from the world, self, and sin. Because when we are regenerated and the spirit dwells in us, everything about us will automatically change, because we are now new.

According to 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says that If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature the old life is gone; and a new life has begun. We no longer live for our selves but Christ in us the hope of our glory.

This kind of faith that brought us to Christ is a living faith, meaning it is active, productive and dynamic. This kind of faith works and produces within the person that possesses it, the spirit of boldness, self-reliance, hard working and overcoming.

Those who accept Jesus as their Lord and personal Savior and also received His blood for the remission of their sins remain faithful in their commitment to Him that called them.

They have God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in them which keeps them going. Colossians 2:9-10. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

Though this life can also be lost, when you carelessly walk back to a life of sin, which will automatically separate you from God. And is again under the condemnation of God because sin incurs the death penalty Roman's 1:18-32.

Paul told Timothy to Fight the good fight of faith, to lay hold on eternal life, 1 Timothy 6:12. " the word lay hold, is used only on something that could slip from us! Something that could be lost if handled carelessly.

Therefore in other to remain in the beautiful garden of God and also continue in fellowship with Him, we need to apply caution because we are commanded to abide in Him and also walk in His light as He is in the light. For whosoever, that sinneth is of the devil and he has not eternal life abideth in him. 1 John 3:7-10.
