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 (1 John 5:11-12)
We can do without things like smartphones, malls, insurances, loans but we cannot do without the Son of God. Our life is temporary. Nothing lives forever. But God has given us eternal life in His Son Jesus Christ. We cannot live forever in our own strength. Only Jesus can carry us through death and bring us into an everlasting life on the other shore!
Eternal life(abundant life in Christ) begins when Jesus Christ takes up residence in our heart. The one who doesn't have the Son has no such promise or joyful reality. The good news of the gospel is only to those who have Jesus Christ. So then if we have chosen the good portion let us hold on to Christ and obey The Word of God and strive to run a good race to win the crown of life and to spend eternity with Christ!
