Scripture
speaks of "the time of wrath" (Daniel 11:36), "a time of distress such
as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then" (Daniel
12:1). For some, this will bring "shame and everlasting contempt."
Through the grace of God, others will receive "everlasting life" (Daniel
12:20). This "everlasting life" is in Christ - "God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life."
Scripture also contains the Word of warning - "He who does not have the
Son does not have life" (1 John 5:12-12). As we hear Scripture speaking
to us concerning eternal life, we say in our hearts, "Such knowledge is
too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain" (Psalm 139:6). Too
wonderful? Too lofty? - Yes, but, by the grace of God, it is given to us
- "I write these things to you who believe in the Name of the Son of
God so that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).
