Jesus did not come to take us to heaven. This is not
what the bible teaches. The bible teaches that Jesus came to give us life.
God’s life. Eternal life.
“For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jn3:16
“As
thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to
as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” Jn17:2-3
1John5
11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life
is in his Son.
12
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not
life.
13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God.
20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding,
that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his
Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
John10
10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come
that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John11
25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in
me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Luke9
23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life
for my sake, the same shall save it
“I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in
me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son
of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Gal2:20
True Christianity is not the forgiveness of sins
followed by human devotion, self discipline and religious zeal.
True Christianity is Christ living in you.
True Christianity is not you living your life for
Christ or giving your life to Christ. Such a concept is not biblical and
doesn’t exist anywhere in the bible. God doesn’t want your life.
True Christianity is Christ giving His life for you
and Christ living His life in you.
