Eternal Life
It Is a Promise

I John 1:1-2
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us)

Life, eternal life is the life that man prepares in the Earth to return to our Heavenly home from when we came. God created man from a spoken Word in Heaven and manifested him in the Earth as a human being, made of the dust of the ground and he breathed his Spirit in man and man became a living soul.

Something is wrong; why is the world dying and accepting to go to an unprepared eternal resting place? Why would a man want to associate his Soul with Hell for Eternity when there is a mansion prepared for him in Heaven? Does any one wonder about Eternal life, evidently not when so many are dying such meaningless death?

Man was always promised eternal life, to live forever. What came between man living and ruling in this earth is the fact that he disobeyed his creator. Man disobeyed his creator when he bowed down to his wife's demand that he eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree, for Satan had beguiled her and nothing happened so she had power of persuasion over her husband. God had created man with an eternal purpose. Satan still deceives man today with his half-truths. He takes just enough of truth to a situation to make his case seem like it is true. Many have been deceived by his deceptive antics. No one can live like a Devil all of his life and expect to accept Christ on their dying bed and expect to receive the same reward as on that has loved, obeyed and lived for God throughout the process of their time of defilement and works.

Eternal life for man was an original plan of God from the beginning of creation, from the time that he breathed the breath of life in man and he became a living soul. This brought forth the union of the Soul and the Body and this coming together is what gave man Eternal Life.

Eternal means existing always, essentially unchanging, everlasting, timeless, infinite, endless, limitless, immoral, invariable, permanent, fixed, constant, enduring, lasting, or everlasting in eternity.

There is life after death for God's created beings, man and woman. In life they must make preparations to have that life. God have given them everything to sustain them in life, the capacity to grow, have functional activities, and the continued ability to change for the better until their departure in this natural life. Eternal life is the always, existing union of soul and body. Life is considered the period between birth and death in a man's life. In times past man lived longer lives than that of today. Children today are more learned that men and women were then. They existed before Christ, but now these people living after Christ has the living Word that was manifested in the earth and there is no excuse for mankind.

They have the road map laid out in front of them and they do understand what is on that road and the sacrifice that was given for that road to exist for their God, and this is not to say or imply that everyone knows Christ, why he came into the world, and why he died, but, we do know that because he came from Heaven and dwelled among men to show them a better way to live and that they should except his finished work of the Cross, man can have the obedience to the Father God which is in Heaven. Man has a reason to praise the Lord in the beauty of Holiness. His own individual actions and how they view Christ in their lives will cause them to miss out on God's promise of eternal life. They imprison themselves in the mind because of the Sin that they try to hide in their minds.

The choices lead them either to Christ or away from Christ; the pleasure of sin is deceiving in that it is only for that moment. The Christian must be careful not to listen to the enemy too long. When Satan brings accusations on ourselves or on our sisters and brothers in Christ, we listen to a half- truth. Man need to arise out of that state that they become inactive in because they have assumed an imaginary animation of what another Christian is or is not doing. Wrong answer, they will miss Heaven. Holiness is right and somebody is wrong, man cannot do what they may want to and go to Heaven. They must purge all of the sin that so easily besets them time and time again life is existence, being, sentience, viability, lifetime, days, efficacy, mortal human being, individual, soul, living and way of life, lifestyle, and passion.

Holiness is the state or equality of being holy, perfect, moral integrity, or purity, freedom from sin, or sanctity. Holiness is a state, existing condition or position of a person or thing. Man's status in life does not determine whether or not he goes to Heaven or not, nor does their circumstances, situations, state of affairs, shape of their body, what kind of house they live in, what kind of car they drive or how many, how well they can speak, or articulate a message. God is Holy and he calls man to Holiness each day. To live in holiness each day is to live as close to God as one knows how. Just as Jesus in St. John 14 say that he was going back to the Father and he would prepare a place for us, he came to earth first to prepare man to go to that prepared place. Some things must be done first. Is anyone willing to give up a sinful life for eternal life? One day the trumpet will sound and every man will give an account for what they have done. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? What is it that will make a man give in to sin and forsake eternal life for a few minutes of pleasure that sin brings?

If one will give up this world and its gods then they will receive the Eternal God and he will receive them unto himself. In Matthew 4:1-10, Jesus after he was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the Devil had to go through a test of the flesh just as natural man today. He was a living example to man in the earth that one has to endure for the Eternal Life that the Father has promised us that we will have. Man does not want to do what it takes to succeed in this life in which one lives. God sent his Son and his Son died a horrific death to redeem man from the eternal damnation in Hell.

When we look around in America today, we can see that many have gone from under the protection of God. God has given us protection from all evil and ills, but we have walked away from the foundation for which God has already laid for us from the beginning of creation. God has been calling man back to his first love for many days now. God is and has asked man to give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. He wants us to hear his teachings, listen to his words. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. He asked that we would put our trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands. We are encouraged to not be like our forefathers who were stubborn and rebellious, with their hearts not loyal to God nor were their spirits faithful to God. When we look and see America today, we can see that Ephraim is back. They did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his law. He did miracles in their Fathers sight in the land of Egypt, and the region of Zoan. He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall, guided them with the cloud by day, and with light from the fire by night. He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas; brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers. Although God had did all these things for his people they still continued to sin against him and they rebelled against God.

In America today we test God willfully. They speak against God and doubt every work that it is of God. God will break out his fire against them and his wrath will be kindled against man in a great way because they have gone from under the protection, and man’s Soul is in trouble.
