The Gospel of John 5:24 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24 KJV)

The Lord Jesus Christ emphasizes this statement powerfully saying: verily, verily, which translate as Amen or truly, to drive in the utmost importance of this first-hand information direct from His mouth. This lets us know that this truth is absolute, a personal knowledge of fact, not taught to Him or learned from anyone. This is truth coming from Him who is the person of grace and truth.

We're given the revelation in verse 23 that those who believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ, accept the Father and eternal life. Rejecting Him is rejecting the Father and rejecting life. It is a choice to be condemned and to be judged (John 3.36). The Lord judges all things. He has the power over life or death.

The moment we receive Him, our life is transformed right at the instant. We step into eternal life. Scriptures say: "This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living." (John 5:24b MSG). The journey to eternity begins.

Apostle John, the disciple that Jesus loved, further reminds that: “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:4-5, 11-12 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
