Today my devotional time continued with the concept of life. My focus shifted from life here on earth to eternal life. Many people spend their lives questioning whether or not they are good enough or if they have done enough good works to live in heaven for all eternity. God did not intend for us to be confused or uncertain as to if we will make it to heaven or not. His word tells us what is necessary for eternal life:
Verse: And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life (1 John 5:11-13).
Doing good deeds and being a good person is a worthy goal but these things will not secure an eternal life in heaven for you. Have confidence in your salvation and your life in the Son and know that with him you have eternal life.
