"proclaim to you the eternal life"
How to we get to eternal life? That's a strange thing to say or think about...
Not many people have a problem with the idea of eternity. I think this is all something we want to agree on, that in the next life it will be better, we will be happier, and we will live forever.
But when I look at these two words 'eternal life' they for some reason don't make much sense...
This was apart of the teaching of Jesus and also the apostles...this is the end result of our journey here on earth...but as I live the Christian life or attempt to at least, do I realize this eternal life is our hearts desire, purpose, promise by which we live?
Its simple to say we were created for eternity, but to realize that this is our road, our compass, and our map to live this life is forgetful.
Maybe this is something Christians just know and we all don't say much about it because its a fact were just supposed to know.
Should we not 'proclaim it'?
Should this not be the gospel's promised aim?
How do we live in eternal life?
How do we live with eternal life?
Are we scared to really dig deeper into this reality>?
Why is this promised to us Christians, and yet the outside world also can mostly agree "they're in a better place"?
Solomon wrote God has placed eternity in the hearts of man. So I guess that answers that question.
I am going to keep dwelling on this eternal life.
This is what the Christian life is about.
