Our ability to comprehend God — Father, Son, Holy Spirit (The Trinity) — is limited.
God is infinite — we are finite.
God is immortality — we are mortal.
God is absolute — we are relative.
God is eternal — we are limited to time.
However, there is a major difference between eternal life and everlasting life.
Eternal life has no beginning and no end. Everlasting life has a beginning and no end.
God has eternal life — as believers, we have everlasting life.
Everlasting life originates from eternal life (i.e. from God). God gives us the same life He has — we are destined for eternal existence because of God’s Plan of Grace, which centers around His Son Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us on the cross of Calvary.
God’s Plan always benefits His creation — humanity.
Basically, God’s Plan for the believer has three parts (or phases):
- Salvation (provided and executed by Christ)
- The Christian Life (executed by the Holy Spirit)
- Eternity (provided and executed by the Father)
The Bible declares God. The Bible is:
- The Father’s written Word
- The Mind of Christ
- The voice of the Holy Spirit.
Christ is the visible (luminiferous) member of the Godhead.
The Holy Spirit is felt (in executing the Christian/spiritual life, apart from emotionalism).
The Father is neither seen nor felt.
Side note: Every soul of every human being will live on forever, regardless — our souls are already immortal. The question is:
Where will your soul live in eternity?
Christ died for you and rose again. He just wants you to believe it.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” — Acts 16:31.
