I Am Not Just Enjoying My Life; I Am Enjoying My Eternal Life!

If you are a child of God, it must be clear to you that the life you have right now is not just an ordinary life. It is the eternal life. 


Eternal life will not be given after you die, and as eternity begins. Many believers miss this basic radical truth - Eternal life was given right at the moment when you received Jesus in your heart. I John 5: 11 recorded, "And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life." It didn't say, "to be given," but already "given." And maybe you missed the promise in John 3:16 which says we, "...have everlasting life." It didn't say that what we have is just "life" but it was clearly said, "eternal" or "everlasting" life. Many believers know about this promise of eternal life but they don't appropriate this promise in their lives. In their minds, eternal life is - heaven- when it is not. They thought eternal life begins only in heaven. A misconception once again. No wonder many believers live a defeated life here on earth thinking that heaven is the final escape and heaven is where they can only be happy. They have postponed their happiness to heaven. 


The truth is- the life you are living right now- is an eternal life. 


This is an awesome and amazing truth that can drive away all misconceptions, and can radically change the way you live today.


Believing and being fully conscious that the life you are living today is an eternal life can change your life.


You will appreciate the more the life God has given to you.
You will be more confident that the life you have is a blessed, victorious and abundant life.
You will not postpone happiness to heaven. You will be happy right now. Heaven can wait, enjoy life now "on earth, as it is in heaven."
You will be happy knowing that nothing and no one can lessen even a little bit from this eternal life you have. No one can snatch this eternal life in you.


Grasping this truth in my mind one day amazed me and gave me shivers to my bones. As I feel the breath coming out from my nose and mouth and as I feel my arms, I was so amazed to realize that the life I have right now is not just an ordinary life- but an eternal life! Whooooa!


This is why I am not just enjoying my life; I am enjoying my ETERNAL life!
