And They Have Kept Your Word
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. ~ John 17:3
Eternal life is not found in a prayer, a ritual, or a fleeting emotional decision. Jesus defined it clearly, “This is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). This is not just about knowing about God, it is about knowing Him, personally, relationally, and obediently. Many people walk around claiming to be Christians, but according to Scripture, most are deceiving themselves. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:21-23 that not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom, but only those who do the will of His Father. Many will say they served Him, yet He will respond, “I never knew you.” Why? Because they never truly knew Him.
Jesus prayed, “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word” (John 17:6). There is the test — “they have kept your word.” True salvation changes a person. It produces obedience, not perfection, but a life that is marked by following Christ and honoring His Word. John 14:15 says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” That is not optional, it is evidence. Real saving faith results in a transformed life. It does not mean you will never fall, but it does mean you will not stay down and love the darkness. You will fight your sin, cling to Christ, and walk in His truth.
We live in a time where the devil has convinced millions that as long as they prayed a prayer or “accepted Jesus,” they are fine. Meanwhile, they live like the world, love their sin, and ignore God’s Word. That is not eternal life. That is self-deception. Eternal life is not automatic, emotional, or inherited. It comes through knowing the true God through His Son, Jesus Christ. And that knowledge always bears fruit.
So here is the wake-up call, examine yourself. Are you truly His? Have you repented and trusted in Jesus? Are you following Him in obedience to His Word, or just checking a religious box? The devil would love to distract you with everything but the one thing that matters, knowing Christ. Do not settle for a false peace. Eternal life is found in Him alone, and those who truly know Him will live like it.

You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself
Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ ~ Matthew 7:21-23
There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
