We Have Eternal Life

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

                                                                                     (John 3:14-17 KJV)

A friend and one of my internship mentors died yesterday. Glenda was a faithful woman. She served her community with much love even as she knew that she was loved by God and by so many people around her.

It is a very sad day for all who love her. Yet, we are not without hope because we know of Glenda's great love for God and for all of us. She will be missed. Our hope is that we will join her in the eternal presence of God on our last day for we know that God loves each of us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His own Son that we might inherit eternal life.  

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." (Eph 2:8)
