NO ORDINARY LIFE

NO ORDINARY LIFE

And this is the record, that God hath 

given to us eternal life, and this life is in 

his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; 

and he that hath not the Son of God hath 

not life (1 John 5:11-12).

Eternal life is the nature of God, and the Bible 

says this life is in Christ Jesus. This is the life 

Jesus referred to when He said,  “For as the Father hath 

life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have 

life in himself ” (John 5:26). Jesus had that life, which 

He received from the Father. It’s translated “eternal 

life” in English because of the limitation of the English 

language; this is the “God-life” or “the God-kind of 

life.” 

There’s the animal life; there’s the plant life; there’s 

the human life, and then there’s the God-life: the life 

of Deity. Anyone who has the Son of God, has this 

life, and anyone who doesn’t have the Son of God 

doesn’t have eternal life. That’s what we read in our 

opening scripture. 

It doesn’t matter that someone is your sibling, your 

father, mother, friend, co-worker or classmate; if they 

don’t have the Son of God, they don’t have eternal 

life, and that’s serious trouble. It means they’re subject 

to the darkness and depravities of this world; they’re 

under the dominion of spiritual death. It’s the reason 

we preach, and it’s the reason you must do everything 

possible to ensure your loved ones receive eternal life 

which is in Christ Jesus.   

The Bible says, “…the gift of God is eternal life...” 

(Romans 6:23); that gift is only available in Jesus Christ. 

He came that we may have life to the full (John 10:10 

AMP). The vibrant, glorious, transcendent life of God 

in its fullness is what Jesus brought; it’s no ordinary life; 

and if you believe in Him, that’s what you’ve received 

into your spirit. You don’t have to “feel” it in your body 

first to be conscious that you have eternal life; it’s in 

your spirit. 

Your consciousness of your divine nature and 

origin is so important. Recall the words of the Apostle 

John:  “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”  (1 John 5:13).

CONFESSION

I’m indestructible. Greater is He that’s in me than 

he that’s in the world. The life in me is incorruptible 

and indestructible, making me invincible. My life 

is for the glory of God; I’m walking in preordained 

pathways, fulfilling God’s purpose for my life, in 

Jesus’ Name. Amen.
