Introduction In Christ Jesus, we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3-5). Let us consider some of those blessings, described in the writings of John as extending “into the ages.”

Eternal Blessings in Christ Eternal Sustenance (John 4:7-14; 6:48-51, 53-58). Eternal Sonship (John 8:31-36). Eternal Protection (John 10:24-30). Eternal Life (John 8:51-59; 11:23-27) Eternal Guidance (John 14:16-17, 25-26; 2 John 1-3).

Conclusion Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever (Psalm 125:1-2). When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation (Proverbs 10:25).
