1 John 5:11-12 (NIV)
11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
WOW, this couldn't be any more self explanatory but here it goes:
When I read this passage I think about what non-believers might think life is. There's sayings like " live life to the fullest", "live like its your last day", etc. And that might play out to mean have as much fun as you can, experience, have adventures, etc.But what they don't understand (or they will if/when converted) is that once you have Jesus in your heart He's going to take you on the best adventure of your life, living becomes all the more richer, new perspective & you have fun in different ways most of the time in better ways. A non-believers "fun" life is only til they die but a CF fun life becomes forever because God created everything- fun included. I know non-believers don't think fun when they think of God-Jesus-the christian walk- they think the opposite. But that's why we need to let the joy we feel inside ooze out our pores and show the world that following Jesus is the greatest adventure of all time!
