The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son. John 5:26 NLT
As the eternal God and the Creator of all loving things, the Lord our God is the source of all life—both physical and spiritual. And in today’s verse, Jesus stated that God the Father had granted the Son the power and authority to give eternal life to anyone who comes to Him in faith.
Think about the amazing miracle of receiving new life in Christ. At one time, you were in a hopeless, helpless state of spiritual death. Sin had separated you from God, and there was nothing you could do about it. But God’s only Son came to earth, where He died and was raised from the dead so that you could be made alive in Him.
The apostle John gave us reason to take heart when he wrote, “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12). Do you have Jesus? Then you have life—abundant life here on earth and eternal life with Him in heaven.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, today and every day, I want to thank You and praise Your name with everything I have for giving me life. I was once spiritually dead, but You made me alive. Thank You for Your amazing love.
