Bible Commentary

John 5:24

This is the heart of the Gospel in a single verse. Eternal life is not a future reward only — it is a present possession for those who believe. The believer has already passed through death into life. Judgment — condemnation — has no claim on them.

Memory phrase: Believe in Jesus and have eternal life.

Talk about it: Jesus says that those who believe in Him have 'already' passed from death to life — right now, not just in the future. How does that make you feel?

Prayer: Jesus, I hear Your words and I believe in You. Thank You that I have already passed from death to life!
