Day 67 Promise 525 John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (KJV) People are always looking for ways to live forever. Yet, they know they will die one day. Jesus told the people that if people kept His sayings, they would never see death. The Jews told Him everyone dies, citing the examples of Abraham and the prophets. John 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (KJV) As Christians, you know Jesus was not talking about physical death, but spiritual death, total separation from God for eternity. When you keep Jesus’ words close to your heart, you will do what He requires of you, and you will never die, but live with Him for eternity in heaven. The psalmist said keeping God’s word in his heart kept him from sin. Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (KJV) Jesus told His disciples that when His words abide in them, they could ask anything of Him and He would do it. John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (KJV) God’s Word is powerful. When you keep His Word close to your heart, you will never die, but live with Him for eternity. Let’s pray: Father, let me keep Your Word close to my heart so I will know what You want me to do for You. Let Your Word fill me to overflowing so I will be a testimony of Your love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. Copyright © 14 October 2020 by Valerie Routhieaux Image courtesy of Pixabay
