Jesus, Lessons for Life 12
The Most Essential Lesson
Our Lord then speaks plainly about his mission/purpose for being on earth—to provide our path to eternal salvation.
Here is one of the many places where scripture spells this out clearly, without question.
John 3:13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
I really love to read from the book of John, because it is full of this precious message of salvation. Jesus was sent to save us! While he was here, he taught us a lot, and we will continue to explore the lessons of his life and teaching in the weeks to come.
Nothing is more important than this one.
Key Lesson — The lesson most important for our salvation is this then, that we must believe in Jesus. God loved us and sent him. The choice is then ours. We can believe and receive eternal life. If we do not, we already stand condemned. This message is brought through clearly, time and time again.
