1 Peter 1:23-25

A Call to Holy Living

23 For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the prophet says,

"People are like grass that dies away;

their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers.

The grass withers,

and the flowers fall away.

25 But the word of the Lord will last forever."

And that word is the Good News that was preached to you. (NLT)

 

The way of the flesh is death, but the way of the spirit is life everlasting. When you are born again you are born of the Spirit and you enter into eternal life. The flesh will die but you will live on with the Lord Jesus Christ forever. The flesh is temporal, it is here today and then dies and its sinful life is meaningless, but eternal life comes from God and it is a blessing to you and to those around you. Share it. Eternal life was meant to be shared, not held onto. Share the words of the Good News with all -- for it was meant to be given away just as Jesus gave His life away so that many will come to eternal life. Only the word of God has life, true life and a life to be enjoyed.
