A frail, ill, elderly woman attended an evangelistic rally where I was the guest speaker. When I asked people to come forward at the end of the service, this woman was among those who publicly confessed the Lord Jesus as Savior. “Why didn’t someone tell me this before?” she asked. “Why did I have to wait until almost the end of my life?” But then she added, “I’m glad I at least found out in my 70s.” Six months later she went to be with the Lord. She died knowing that she had eternal life. Why? Because when you have Jesus Christ in your heart, the Bible promises that you have eternal life. It’s the gift of God.

During a television interview I was asked, “Do you really believe that Satan is an actual being who can influence people?” The Bible clearly answers ‘yes.’ Satan opposes all who follow Jesus Christ, and tries to plant doubts in our minds. But Jesus promises that if we belong to Him, we are His forever.

In John 10:28, Jesus says: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hands.” When you receive eternal life from Jesus Christ, nothing can take it away. Have you received that wonderful gift? If so, let’s praise God and thank Him every day.
