Scripture Reading of the Day From The Living Bible
1 John 5:4
For Every Child of God can obey him, defeating sin and evil pleasure by trusting Christ to help him.
But who could possible fight and win this battle except by believing that Jesus is truly the Son of God? And we know he is, because God said so with a voice from heaven when Jesus was baptized, and again as he was facing death—yes, not only as his baptism but also as he faced death. And the Holy Spirit, forever truthful, says it too. So we have these three witnesses; the voice of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, the voice from heaven at Christ’s baptism, and the voice before he died. And they all say the same thing: That Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We believe men who witness in our courts, and so surely we can believe whatever God Declares. And God Declares that Jesus is his Son. All who believe this know in their hearts that it is true. If anyone doesn’t believe this, he is actually calling God a liar, because he doesn’t believe what God has said about his Son.
And what is it that God has said? That he has given us eternal life, and that this life is in his Son. So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his Son, does not have life.
I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life. And we are sure of this, that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. And if we really know he is listening when we talk to him and make our requests, then we can be sure that he will answer us.
Sam’s response
One of the greatest Gift’s God gives us is knowing that beyond our time here, when we die, we will have eternal life. In Corinthians 15 it says.
I tell you this, my brothers: and earthly body made of flesh and blood cannot get into God’s Kingdom. These perishable bodies of ours are not the right kind to live forever. But I am telling you this strange and wonderful secret: we shall not all die., but we shall all be given new bodies! It will all happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For there will be a trumpet blast from the sky and all the Christians who have died will suddenly become alive, with new bodies that will never, never die; and then we who are still alive shall suddenly have new bodies too. For our earthly bodies, the ones we have now that can die, must be transformed into heavenly bodies that cannot perish but will live forever.
When this happens, then at last this Scripture will come true—”Death is swallowed up in victory.” O Death, where then your victory? Where then your sting? For sin—the sting that causes death—will all be gone;

This is the Good News That Jesus Died For. This is a promise from God that those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior will pass through the gates of heaven and live eternally.

1 Cor 15 58 goes on to say….
So, my dear brothers, since future victory is sure, be strong and steady, always abounding in the Lord’s work, for you know that NOTHING you do for the Lord is ever wasted as it would be if there were no resurrection.

So Faith is our Victory. If you have Asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior, you can be assured that you will live beyond this life.
Sometimes when we ask God for something, and it is not answered…we need to see if it is in alignment with God’s will. We need to trust that God’s will for our lives is not always how we see it. This can be a stumbling block to our faith and we need to be on guard against the lies of Satan. This battle for your soul goes on but YOU know because the WORD OF GOD says so that the victory has already be won for you soul at the Cross!
If you Only Believe!
