We all would rather be winners than losers. But what do you really want to get? The question of Matthew 16:26 “For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but [a]forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?” is uncomfortable for many.
Jesus was prepared to give up his privileges in heaven and to come to this earth as a simple man. As the Son of God, he had to fulfill a special mission. He had to carry the sin of the world. His historic event was fulfilled by Jesus at the cross of Golgotha. With that, he conquered sin once and for all and took the power of death.
Everyone who trusts him and accepts his rule, will have an everlasting life.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
Do you have eternal life?
