Rhapsody of Realities 5 August 2026: Life Through The Son – Jesus Christ
SCRIPTURE: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11).
Eternal life isn’t an abstract idea, nor is it something reserved for the future. It’s located, defined, and experienced in one place—the Son of God—Jesus Christ. Notice the language of the Spirit; it’s deliberate, precise, and absolute. He didn’t say God will give us eternal life but that He has given us eternal life.
Then He goes further: “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12 NIV). This is definitive. It’s not a matter of opinion, background, or human association. The determining factor is simple: do you have the Son? If you do, then you have eternal life.
Verse 13 further reveals the Spirit’s intention: it’s for you to know, not assume, hope, or speculate that you have eternal life: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (NIV).
Eternal life isn’t just an endless duration of existence; it’s the very life and nature of God imparted to your spirit at the New Birth. This life supplants the human life you were born with from your parents; it doesn’t coexist with it. That’s why the Lord Jesus said you must be born again (John 3:7). You’re not improved; you’re recreated.
If this life is truly in you, then it must find expression. Eternal life has the capacity to impart life. It’s why you can live above sickness, fear, and the elements of this world. You’re not born or sustained by blood, the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man; you’re born of God (John 1:13); you’re animated by divine life. When you live with this awareness, you’ll rise above the ordinary and manifest the extraordinary life of God.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for imparting eternal life to my spirit and making me a partaker of the divine nature. I live with the consciousness of this divine life in me, expressing your nature, manifesting your glory, and walking in dominion over circumstances. I walk in the reality of who I am in Christ, impacting my world with your divine life in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
