Devotion 3/22, Crossing The Bridge From Death To Life
“Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and . . . has crossed over from death to life.”. John 5:24
The “bridge between life in Christ and sin” is Jesus Christ himself; his sacrifice on the cross acts as the means to cross the chasm created by sin, allowing individuals to move from a life separated from God to a life in fellowship with him through faith in Jesus.
We are sinners by nature, but accepting Christ as our personal Savior, repenting our sins and having daily fellowship with Him through his Word and Prayer, our hearts change and our faith in Him leads to life.
Jesus spoke in the past tense, saying, “has crossed over”—and this means that we already have eternal life right now through faith in Jesus.
Lord Jesus, strengthen our faith to trust in you alone to bring us from death to life, and please give us the assurance of eternal life today. In your name, Amen.
