What Place Does the Word of Life Occupy in Your Life?

If you keep the Word of Jesus eternal life belongs to you, because the Lord alone has the words of eternal life, salvation, liberation and healing!

“Verily, verily I say unto you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death” (John 8, 51).

Dear brothers and sisters, [in the Gospels] while some Jews insist on creating controversies with the words, with the preaching and above all with the life of Jesus, He does not cease to proclaim [the Kingdom of God] does not cease to preach, and many people listen to His words and convert. While those that close themselves to the words and teachings of the Lord grow a bad, negative sentiment and many of them want to pick up stones to stone Him. He is not afraid and continues His ministry moving forward.

Let me tell you something: if you keep the Word of Jesus, eternal life belongs to you, because the Lord alone has the words of eternal life, of salvation, liberation and words of healing!

You know, in the world we live in, people like many “vain discussions,” speeches that lead nowhere and will often want to back them up with the things of God. I say to you: do not waste time with these discussions, open your heart, welcome the words of Jesus. Invite Jesus to come speak to us through His Word, do not get the “words-letters” stay on “living words “! Do not remain just in the historical, theological and hermeneutical understanding [of the Word of God], stay in the understanding of the Word of Life.

Every word of Jesus, received with humility of heart and willingness to open ourselves to grace, becomes the living words to our hearts! First, because the Lord’s words conquer death within us: death with all that it brings darkness, fear, and dread. The Word of God enlightens our hearts, it is entering the most profound parts of our being to illuminate the shadowed part of our soul.

The Lord’s words are spirit and life, so we now reject and renounce all discussions and all the words of one type or another that desire to treat Jesus as merely a human person or just a historic citizen. He is our Savior and Redeemer; we believe in His words and we are convinced that only the Lord Jesus has words to save us and give us life.

Paying attention to the words of the Lord, we want to live for them!

God bless you!
