*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* _Wednesday, February 12th 2025_ *RECEIVING THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE* _*For the wages of sin is death; but the  gift of God is eternal life through Jesus  Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).*_ In preaching the Gospel, we must let the world know that God already made eternal life available as a gift to all men. A gift is something given voluntarily, without payment in return, usually to show favour, honour, appreciation or express love toward someone. The essence of a gift is that it’s not something you work or labour to earn; it’s free. We read in our opening scripture that the gift of God is eternal life. God offered it freely in Jesus Christ. Isn’t that wonderful? He knew that no matter how hard we tried; our hard and good works wouldn’t qualify us to receive eternal life. Therefore, He made it available as a gift. Recall the words of the Lord Jesus in John 3:16; *"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."* Also, in John 5:24, He said, *"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life…."* So, if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (God in human flesh), and that He died on account of your sins, and was raised back to life for your justification, eternal life is imparted to your spirit. At that moment, everything changes; you have eternal life with the blessings and grace that flow from Him. 1 John 5:11-12 says, *"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."* If you haven’t declared His lordship over your life, do so right away. The Word declares that if you confess with your mouth *“Jesus is Lord”* and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Turn to the Prayer of Salvation page at the back of this devotional, say the words therein and mean them from the bottom of your heart. This will bring you into salvation in Christ right away. God bless you. *PRAYER* Dear Father, I thank you for the wonderful gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. For everyone who receives salvation today, the Name of Jesus is named upon them. They have received life from you, and Satan has no claim over them anymore; they belong to Jesus and are members of the body of Christ. Amen. *FURTHER STUDY* Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; 1 John 5:11-13 NIV *1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN* Matthew 27:45-66; Leviticus 1-3 *2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN* Matthew 13:53-58; Genesis 43 📌𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒📌👇👇 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaN6elk0VycDs4LRdc0s 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋👇👇👇 https://t.me/lovewordglobalinfluencers 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄👇👇👇 https://chat.whatsapp.com/IHUeA006iOiA1BbOuhzHQ5 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑫𝑳𝒀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝑻𝑶 𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑷 𝑺𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑶𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑵'𝑺 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑳𝑫.
