The Gospel of John 5:39-40 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” (John 5:39-40 KJV).

The Lord Jesus Christ continues to address the religious Jews' stubborn unbelief. He directed them to search the scriptures, which they'd been doing thinking that they gain the hope for eternal life. Yet, in spite, they refuse to come to Jesus to possess it. The Scriptures are the most important treasure to hold in this realm of living, as these bear witness of Him our Lord Jesus Christ. We are made aware that all, heaven and earth, shall pass away, but God's Words shall remain (Matthew 24:35). The Scriptures, God's Words, point to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Key to unlock, understand and receive the truth of God's message for us. The Lord Jesus Christ is God's message for us. He is the Word who became flesh! (John 1:14).

Only through Him we can gain eternal life. There is no other way. Definitely, not religion which is used by the enemy of our soul to keep many away from God, like the religious Jews that persecuted the Lord. All other ways lead to destruction and hell (John 3:16; 36). The Lord Jesus Christ is our Only way to life in this realm and to everlasting life - the life that has no end. That's the life of eternal bless and bliss. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh, lived amongst us, the Emmanuel (Matthew 2:23). He died and rose from the dead (Luke 24:46). And now, He lives in us (Galatians 2:20) as we put our faith in Him. It is written, the scriptures declared: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”” (Acts 4:12 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!
