�� SCRIPTURE READING

“And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.” — 1 John 2:25

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” — 2 Corinthians 4:17

��️ MEDITATION

Eternal life is not only a present reality—it is also a promise of eternal glory.

The life of God within us is a foretaste of something far greater that is yet to come.

While we experience His presence now, there is a future where we will experience His glory in fullness.

This is the mystery: eternal life begins now, but it will be perfected in eternity.

Every believer carries within them the seed of glory that will one day be fully revealed.

The challenges and trials of this life are temporary, but the glory that awaits is everlasting.

Eternal life assures us that our journey does not end here—it continues into a realm of perfect joy, peace, and communion with God.

This hope gives meaning to our present lives. It strengthens us to endure, inspires us to live righteously, and reminds us that our ultimate destiny is with God forever.
