John 6:47

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”

You have eternal life. As used here, believe means “continues to believe.” We do not just believe once, but we keep on trusting and believing in Jesus. We follow Him day by day. Once we accept Jesus’ sacrifice for us, admit that He is our savior, confess our sins, and turn our lives over to Him, we have eternal life. I don’t know about you but there are days that I must turn myself back over to Christ. Hence maybe the meaning to believe day by day. Unlike Israel’s forefathers who ate manna from heaven to stay alive, but did not have eternal life, we have Jesus’ sacrifice to offer us a relationship with God and eternal life. He is our living bread! Do you continue to believe day by day?

Dear God, thank you that you have given us the living bread so that we may have eternal life. Help me to share this good news with others. Give me your wisdom and courage to do what you call me to. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
