“Although we humans have never been satisfied with the biblical allotment of threescore and ten, neither do we want to extend our life span only to pass the time in a decrepit state. NO, WE WANT A LONGER HEALTH SPAN.
“Might we be on the trail of one? The cover story, ‘A New Path to Longevity,’ by David Stipp, descibes……”
That’s what the editor in chief Mariette DiChristina is writing in Scientific American, January 2012.
Why are we not satisfied with the biblical life span of threescore and ten? Why are we looking for a longer health span? Why are we searching for a trail to a longer health span?
We are longing for fellowship with our creator. We are looking for life without end in fellowship with God. We are longing for the true life. We want eternal life.
How can we attain the true eternal life?
1. We attain the eternal life through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
a. The death of Christ…
b. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ……..
c. His ascension
d. The Second Coming of Christ…..
2. We attain the eternal life through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
What happens when we believe on the Lord?
Many things are happening when we believe, but here are a few of them:
a. We possess eternal life.
b. Our names are recorded in heaven.
c. The mansion of glory becomes ours.
d. We are indwelt by the Holy spirit.
In Ecclesiastes 3:11 we are told:
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end.”
