*DAILY DEW 9/MAY/2023* *CALLED UNTO ETERNAL INHERITANCE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."* (Hebrews 9:15 (KJV) ) _Bible Insight:_ Jesus died to enable us receive the promise of eternal inheritance. This is one of the whys of our calling. This eternal inheritance begins with eternal life. It is worth more than gold. It the very essence of our Christianity. Aside this, there is nothing more spectacular about our faith. Thus, Paul cautions Timothy, and by extension, everyone who is to become an ardent believer and follower of Jesus:- *"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."* (1 Timothy 6:12 (KJV)) We must be conscious that we need not pay a price to be called of God, save by grace and our believing in Christ. However, haven been called, we are mandated to "lay hold on eternal life". It is a good reminder that what you are given, if you fail to receive and keep, you are not different from those who haven't been given in the first place. Peter understood this. Hence, when it was time to respond to Jesus, he answered wisely:- _Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life._ (John 6:67-68 (KJV)) In Titus 1:2 (KJV), Paul refers to it as a promise we "hope" for: *In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began* Again Jesus clearly stated that eternal life is one of the things waiting for those who follows Him diligently, in the life to come: *"And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; AND IN THE WORLD TO COME ETERNAL LIFE."* (Mark 10:29-30 (KJV)) But it all begins here and now because John 17:3 (KJV) says *"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."* Do you KNOW Jesus Christ? _MEDITATION:_ *You have been called to eternal life. It is both a promise received and a promise to be received. Don't ever think you have it all already. Keep this truth both as a present and as a promise to be received* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
