Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
John 3:36 NIV

I have been pondering what does it mean to believe in the Son of God and have eternal life?

I know in my own personal journey Holy Spirit has been dealing with my heart and bringing me into a deep revelation of the Father’s Love and His Son.

I am realizing that believing in His Son- Jesus precious Lamb of God goes a step further in us understanding that since Jesus died and rose again, He now chooses to reveal Himself through His people which make up His body. He choose us first!

John 15:16 New International Version (NIV)

“¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.“

We are that body of Christ. We are that vessel that He has chosen to manifest His glory! We are his sons carrying the very DNA of His Son- Jesus! The body of Christ is not just separate parts that do their own thing but they are a family that work together in a perfect love relationship that casts out ALL fear. This is where eternal Life begins here on earth as it is in heaven. It’s time to enter into the manifest presence of Jesus Christ- and see our heavenly Father- to experience, know, how much He truly loves His Son who now chooses to manifest Himself in a broken vessel called humanity. This broken vessel is comprised of many broken vessels who have surrendered their ALL to Christ. These are the sons of God who Daddy God loves and paid the ultimate price to redeem!

The enemy does not want us to come into this truth of sonship. When we do the enemy loses ground and has no power because he has been defeated by the blood of the Lamb on Calvary. That blood – which is His pure Love poured out- is so powerful to wash us and those around us.

If we are not expieriencing the fullness of the Life of Christ, we have not truly entered into His family. We must believe for our brothers and sisters. Do are hearts truly ache with His love for each other? When we see that we are ALL the same in the fact that we are just a small part of the big body of Christ we don’t have to be jealous or afraid of not being accepted or making the cut. It is Christ in us the hope of glory!

We were accepted the day we choose to surrender our very lives to have the LIFE of Christ living in us! He made the cut for us by becoming that living sacrifice on the cross. He made a way that we can now walk in Him by realizing we are just a vessel, container for His glory!

We don’t and can’t prove our worth to Him because it is already done on the cross. He finished the work and made a way to be delivered from all Pride, competition, striving, orphan hearts, insecurity, fear and hatred on that cross of calvary! We have to choose to believe daily by surrendering our hearts in an act of humility daily to the finished work on the cross.

“Holy Spirit, I need you today. Show we your heart today Father God. I ask for a fresh revelation of Calvary the birthing place of your Glory being revealed in us! You recieve all the glory.”

This act of humilty is a place of complete surrender of our pride and human will realizing that in our flesh dwells no good thing Romans 7:18. It is Christ in us the hope of glory. The place where we cease from our own strength and allow Him to work through us. It is the place where we begin to walk in our identity as sons. It is the place where we no longer recieve the lies of the enemy but choose to take every thought captive allowing the mind of Christ to operate in us!

Romans 8: 8-30

Life Through the Spirit

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, ² because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. ³ For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

⁵ Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. ⁶ The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. ⁸ Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

¹² Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. ¹³ For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to and by him we cry, “Abba,^g]” Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. ¹⁷ Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. ¹⁹ For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. ²⁰ For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope ²¹ that^h]” the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

²² We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. ²³ Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴ For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. ³⁰ And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.“

This walk of Life in the Spirit is where we truly believe in God’s Son in our hearts and we experience eternal Life here on earth! It is a wonderful life even in trials full of glory!
