God’s Promise of Eternal Life September 13

What have you heard? What products or activities promise to increase our lifespan? How would you like to live forever?! – Consider that you were created for eternal life … in Christ – Today we study in 1 John about God’s offer of eternal life

Listen for three witnesses. 1 John 5:6-9 (NIV) This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify:

Listen for three witnesses. 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

Jesus is God’s Son What do these verses teach us about Jesus? What do you think John meant in v.6 when he said Jesus came "by water and blood?" Note: Gnosticism taught that the Spirit of the Christ descended on Jesus at His baptism and left just before His death. – Saying that the water and blood testify about Christ could be a way of saying that Jesus was divine His entire life and ministry beginning to end

Jesus is God’s Son Why does the Spirit testify? What three things are in agreement? How does each testify to Truth? According to v. 9, why should we accept God’s testimony? How does the name “Jesus Christ” give expression to His humanity and divinity, His incarnation and exaltation?

Jesus is God’s Son We mentioned above the Gnostic false teaching that stated Jesus was the Christ only between His baptism and crucifixion. It stated that He was only human until the "Christ" descended upon Him at His baptism. This is one of the false doctrines John warns us about. … Why is this teaching so dangerous?

Listen for the significance of belief in Christ. 1 John 5:10-11 (NIV) Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Life Is Found in Jesus What does v. 10 say about those who believe? Who has made God out to be a liar? Agree or disagree Actually, there are more than just these two options, believe or not believe AgreeDisagree

Life Is Found in Jesus What has God given to those who believe? What does it mean to believe in the testimony of Jesus? Why is it sometimes hard for people to believe faith in Jesus is enough for salvation?

Listen for why John wrote this letter. 1 John 5:12-13 (NIV) He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Believe in Jesus Why did John write this letter? What do we have if we have Christ in us? How would describe the life one has through Jesus? How does this life contrast with the life a non- believer has? How does having eternal life affect your life now?

Application Accept Jesus – If you’ve never accepted the gift of eternal life in Jesus, do so now – Talk to someone in your group to discover what’s involved in becoming a follower of Jesus

Application Live for Jesus – Be intentional about considering how eternal life in Christ affects your attitudes and actions – Allow your relationship with Jesus to control how you handle daily hassles and routines – Let the eternal nature of your relationship with Christ impact everything else

Application Share Jesus – You know others who are looking for meaning and purpose in life – Tell the story how Jesus changes your life and point them to eternal life in Christ
