"Go, stand in the temple
courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new
life." Acts 5:20
These are the questions that we
must find the answers. Ignorance to the answers of these questions would make
you wonder the real meaning of life.
Life is full of meaning. It is a
wonderful thing we have; unless you understood the meaning of life you will not
enjoy the reality of life. Your life would be useless and full of sorrow and
loneliness.
Life should have a full of joy
and peace. Unless you have the New Life you will not experience the true joy
and peace of God.
What is New Life?
Some believe it is a new
religion. Some believe it is a life being changed from bad habits. Some believe
that it is a life saved from the danger and others believe that it is a life
that has been fulfilled the New Year’s resolution.
This New Life is so very
important to God. This is the life that God desires that all people should
have. This life is so very precious that it is the death of the most important
person that paid it.
What this New Life Is All About?
None of the above beliefs got the
answer. You may have a nice religion but cannot have this New Life. You may
have changed your bad habits and you still do not have this New Life. You maybe
saved from death, sickness and accident but you do not have this New Life. And
you may have fulfilled the New Year’s resolution in a long period of time and
still you do not have the New Life.
New Life is called in the Bible “Eternal Life.”
John 3:16 “…that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
Who should to believe? Those
already have the life/old life; a man of sin. A man has this old life the human
life.
In order for a man who already
has the old life to have the Eternal life he must believe on Him (Jesus
Christ).
In other words, if a man who already
believed on the only begotten Son of God has already received eternal life. 1
John 5:12-13 supported it.
If a man already has received the
eternal life, it means he has another life that is eternal and to him it is a
new life. That is what New Life is. Eternal Life.
New Life is called in the Bible “Spiritual Life.”
John 3:6 “That which is born of
the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
The old life is born of the flesh,
which is the human life the old life. But that is born of the spirit is
“Spirit” the bible says. It is clear
that the life that is born in the flesh is flesh which means the old life we
had. But that is born in the spirit is spirit which it means Spiritual life and
that is the New Life.
Notice; both life, the old and
the new has its beginning and the beginning is being born. The Bible says that
which is BORN of the flesh is flesh and that which is BORN of the Spirit is
spirit. The old life is being born in the flesh and the same way the Spiritual
Life/New Life is being born in the Spirit, in other words born again.
Many people believe that this New
Life is received after the death of the old life, which means a life in heaven.
That is why many people pray for the dead that says “Lord give Him (the dead)
eternal life.”
What the Bible says about who has
this New Life?
In 1 John 5:12-13 it says. “He
that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God.”
According to what is written in
the Bible, “…He that has the son has Life.” What is this life? Simple; it is
not the human life the old life but it is the New Life. It is because many
people who do not have the son but still they have the life the old life. So
the life here indicates the New Life that is given to those who had the Son.
In verse 13, it says, “These
things have I written unto you that
believe on the name of the Son of God; that
ye may know that ye have eternal life
Who already had eternal life?
Those who believe on the name of the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ. Are they
still alive? Of course. To whom it is written? To the dead or to the people who
are still alive? If we say to the dead
it makes no sense.
Who gave this New Life?
1 John 5:11 “And this is the testimony: God has given
us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”
It is God who gave the New Life
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
In verse 13, it says, “These
things have I written unto you that
believe on the name of the Son of God; that
ye may know that ye have eternal life
Those who believe on Jesus
Christ.
