John 5:24. Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
The changes Jesus has brought to your life are not temporary—they are permanent and eternal. When God raised Jesus from the dead, He made you alive with Him. You have received eternal life, and that life can never be lost. In Christ is life, and that life is the light of all humanity (John 1:4). Because of that, you no longer have to walk in darkness. Your old life, once enslaved to sin and death, is gone. Now, your life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3)—secure, unshakable, and untouchable by the enemy.
Nothing and no one can undo what God has done in you through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28). The One who gave you this life is greater than all (John 10:29). This life is not merely a duration—it is a quality of life: the very life of God now dwelling in you.
To possess this life is everything. You no longer need religion, ritual, or human effort to make yourself acceptable to God. You are no longer subject to the patterns of this world or the lies of the devil. You are not under the law of sin and death—you are under God’s grace (Romans 6:14). So do not be anxious about anything. Jesus, your True Prophet, lives in you. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He will guide you, teach you, and walk with you every step of the way.
Where there is life, there is power. The Holy Spirit—the Spirit who gives life—is now working in you and through you. He empowers you to stand firm against the devil, to overcome temptation, to heal the broken, and to shine the light of Christ in the darkest places. This is not your strength but Jesus’ life and power flowing in you. Experience Jesus’ life and Jesus’ power more than anything else.
Another permanent change: you will not be judged. The Word of God declares, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). Why? Because Jesus, your True Priest, was condemned in your place (Galatians 3:13). He offered His own blood in the Most Holy Place and obtained eternal redemption for you (Hebrews 9:12). The verdict has been declared: you are forgiven, justified, and righteous in God’s sight.
Because of this, God has removed His judgments against you. You no longer need to fear wrath, punishment, or disaster (Zephaniah 3:15). So stop condemning yourself. Hear the voice of Jesus saying, “Then neither do I condemn you” (John 8:11). He did not come to judge and destroy, but to save and restore (John 3:17). The cross silenced the voice of the accuser. Rest in His grace, receive His mercy, and walk in the freedom of His forgiveness.
You have crossed over from death to life. Your spiritual address has been changed forever. God has rescued you from the domain of darkness and brought you into the kingdom of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). You have been raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6). Heaven is your eternal home, and your name is written in the Book of Life.
By His death and resurrection, your True King, Jesus, crushed the power of the devil who held the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). The gates of hell cannot prevail against you any longer (Matthew 16:18). You now live in victory, not in fear. You no longer belong to the enemy but to your Father in heaven.
So know what has happened to you. When you heard the Word of Christ and believed in the One who sent Him, you were changed forever:
— From a child of the devil to a child of God (John 8:44)
— From idols to worshiping the living God (Exodus 20:3–6)
— From chaos and restlessness to peace and rest (Matthew 11:28–30)
— From brokenness to healing and restoration (Acts 8:4–8)
— From the fear of hell to the hope of heaven (Luke 16:19–31)
— From generational curses to generational blessings (Matthew 27:25)
This is the new reality of the gospel. Live it. Breathe it. Let it transform every part of your life—your thoughts, your relationships, your worship, your prayer, and your mission. In times of crisis, remind yourself of what is true. In moments of weakness, cling to the power of His resurrection life in you.
Prayer. Father, because of what Jesus has done as the Christ, I boldly declare that I have eternal life. I will not be judged. I have crossed over from death to life. Help me to live every day in the power of this gospel reality. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
