More Than Existence - Love Worth Finding - August 9
August 9, 2025 – More Than Existence
1 John 5:11-12
Sermon: 2119 How to Be Absolutely Sure, Part 2
Pray Over This
“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
1 John 5:11-12
Ponder This
John points us to the source of life: Jesus. You don’t have life if you don’t have Jesus. You may say, “I have life.” No, you have existence. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). The “they” He spoke of includes you and me. The source of life is Jesus.
Now, not only is Jesus the source of life, but He’s also the substance of life. Christianity is Christ. It’s not a creed, not a code, and not a cause—it is Christ. Jesus Christ is to your spirit what blood is to your body. Christianity is not a religion about Jesus. It is not simply following His precepts. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Other teachers may point to life; Jesus says, “I am . . . the life” (John 14:6).
The source of your life is Jesus; the substance of your life is Jesus. And, therefore, the surety of your life is Jesus. 1 John 5:13 says, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” Through Jesus we have all we need. You don’t have to look any further than Him.
- How have you found life in Jesus?
- What tempts you to seek life outside of Jesus?
Practice This
Pray and thank God for giving you Jesus as the source, substance, and surety of life.
