HOW TO EXPERIENCE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY
John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
JOHN 17:3
In order to fully understand what eternal life is, it is helpful to understand what it is not. Eternal life is not living forever. Everyone lives forever in either heaven or hell. Also, eternal life is not living forever in the blessings of heaven as opposed to being tormented in hell.
John 3:36 and 5:24 show that eternal life is a present tense possession of the believer.
Here, Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ.
As we have already discussed, the word "know" is speaking of...
CONFIDENCE IN JESUS!
"Beware of Dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." Philippians 3:2,3
IN JESUS TODAY:
How nice it would be, that we could live in a world without evil in it! One day we will be in such a world, heaven, where no evil is, but until that day we need to beware.

WAIT UPON THE LORD!
"And to wait for his son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." 1Thessalonians 1:10
IN JESUS TODAY:
Wait on Jesus! He has delivered us from the wrath that is to come. If you are seeking his glory, wait on him. Wait on Jesus, and you will see these things come to pass.

REJOICE IN THE LORD - ALWAYS
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
JOHN 16:33
The world experiences joy and happiness in direct proportion to their circumstances. Bad circumstances produce depression and sorrow, while good circumstances produce joy and peace. That's bondage, and does not have to be the case for a Christian. Our joy is not dependent on things, but rather on the person of Jesus Christ. He is our peace and joy.
The way we take advantage of this joy and peace in the midst of tribulation, is to have our minds and hearts stayed on things above...

OVERCOME TRIBULATION
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
JOHN 16:33
Jesus said we would have tribulation. He did not say that He was the one bringing the tribulation or what the tribulation would be, but He said it would come. Then He made the amazing statement that in the midst of tribulation we were to be of good cheer.
Tribulations exist because there is a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. When we operate in faith, God is able to grant us such victory that we are actually better off because of the battle. It's just like...
CHOOSE FAITH!
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
IN JESUS TODAY:
What great leader is there that leads his people by fear? There is none! To rule or govern by fear will not work, because fear doesn't build loyalty and trust. Ask yourself, "What would I rather receive, fear or love, or fear or power?" In every answer I am confident that there is not one that will choose fear!

BE A WITNESS, NOT A JUDGE
John 16:8 "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"
JOHN 16:8
It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit to reprove sin, righteousness, and judgment. It is not our ministry. We are simply witnesses. A witness is not the judge or the jury. A witness simply relates what he has experienced, thereby providing evidence to the truth of something. We are to witness in word and deed, to the truth of Jesus being alive in us and let God be the one who convicts. We are simply to testify to what we have seen or to what has happened to us.
Some people in their zeal, have gone beyond the witness stage and have tried to bring...

EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."
JOHN 16:7
The Greek word translated "expedient" means "to be an advantage; profitable."
How could any situation be more advantageous or profitable than having Jesus physically with you?
When Jesus walked on this earth in His physical body, He was subject to many physical limitations. For instance, He could not always be with every one of His disciples all the time. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, He could. Instead of Satan getting rid of Jesus, 120 "little...
FAITHFUL AND TRUE!
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war." Revelation 19:11
IN JESUS TODAY:
"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made him ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?" Mathew 24:45 Let's start by answering this question! Jesus is the first Faithful and True, he has always been faithful to his Father and to us! His commandments are faithful and true, as it is written, "All thy commandments are faithful:" Psalm...

EXPECT PERSECUTION
John 15:19 "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
JOHN 15:19
We should not think it is strange to be persecuted. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Tim. 3:12). We can actually rejoice because we are being persecuted for Jesus' sake, and the Lord will be with us in the midst of the persecution. When we stand before Him, there will be more than ample reward.
Persecution is a token that those persecuting you are under conviction. They realize that they are not living what your words or actions are advocating and...
