“He who has the Son has life;
he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
1 JOHN 5:12
Would
it shock you to learn that God has not given us a thing called eternal
life? The Apostle John made this quite clear in his
inspired writings, saying first of all, in the oft-quoted John 3:16,
that the Son is that which was given, and eternal life is simply the
reward for those who receive the Son.
It
becomes even more apparent in 1 John 5:12. Yes we are given Eternal
Life, true, but the Life is not floating out in space somewhere waiting
to fall on those who ask. Eternal Life has nothing to do with
everlasting existence. Eternal Life is a Person; the Life is the Son;
hence, we need only ask if we have received Jesus and we shall know
whether we have Eternal Life. The Life is bound up in the Son, as is
every one of God’s precious gifts. Having the Son, we therefore have all
the Son has. Eternal Life is simply an alias for Christ.
