In order to receive Eternal Life, you confess Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and your faith in His resurrection from the dead.
This is my Christ In ME Confession
“I am from above.”
“I came forth from the Father; I came into the world: again I leave the world and go unto the Father.”
“I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness but shall have the light of Life”
What a confession!
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man can get to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).
“I am the reality. The wisest of humanity have sought for reality, but they have never found it until they find it in The Man. Jesus is the end of all search; He is reality. As He is, so Am I Now in this world”
“I am the life.” The Greek word, “Zoe,”
Jesus came that I might have life and that ye might have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
I now live and dwell in abundant life through the finished work of Jesus Christ
“Of His fulness have we all received and grace upon grace.”
I have received of the fullness of His life, of His nature, of His wisdom, of His Love. That life was brought by Jesus, and He gives it to me.
I have eternal life pulsating through my whole being right now
You understand that Eternal Life is the one thing that man must have. Forgiveness of his sins would not help him any. He would go on committing the same old sins. What he needs is Eternal Life, the nature of God, to displace his old fallen nature and make him a New Creation in Christ Jesus.
When Jesus said, “No one can reach the Father but by Me,” He was closing every door. The people who accept philosophy and metaphysics instead of Eternal Life are utterly lost. They can never stand in God’s presence. Eternal Life gives to man Righteousness. Righteousness means the ability to stand in the Father’s presence without the sense of guilt or inferiority.
Eternal Life makes us His very sons and daughters.
When Jesus said, “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me,” we see it. The same truth is brought out by Peter, “And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name given under heaven which is given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11).
“The Lord is my shepherd; I do not want.” Then, He is my Caretaker, my Protector, my Bread-Provider.
The shepherd is responsible for the protection of the sheep.
He is responsible for their food and water, and so my Shepherd, Jesus, says, “I am the Bread of Life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
How does that fit into the thought of the shepherd?
He leads me down where the waters are gentle and quiet. He takes me back then, where the alfalfa is rich. In every place in life, He cares for me.
My God has supplied all my needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.
He has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ
He is my Protector and Caretaker.
He is my Shield.
No enemy can touch me.
Nothing shall by any means hurt me
“It is the spirit that giveth life. The flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.”
No other man ever talked that way, ever dared say that his words were spirit and life; that is, that they fed this human spirit, that they gave life to our bodies.
I am a member of his body, his flesh and his bones, I have become one with Christ, the chastisement of my peace was laid upon Him and by his stripes I was made whole. His words are food and strength and health unto my body.
You remember Psalm 107:20 says, “He sent his word and healed them.” Then there is Romans 8:11, “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
His words meet every need.
But this scripture could mean so much to us: “For I am come down from heaven to do my Father’s will” (John 6:38).
As I walk in the Father’s Will, I always walk in the Light. I will never injure anyone. My words are saturated with love. I walk in the light, for His will is the Light.
I walk in Love, for His will is Love. I became one with Him and I do His will always
I am in Christ and I walk in the will of the Father; I will never step out of that will.”
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: If a man eat of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, and the bread which I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world” (John 6:51).
My spirit feeds on Jesus. My heart feeds on love, and I long for His presence, until His Love comes to satisfy me
Jesus is the living bread for my spirit, the living water to quench my thirst.
Of His fullness have I received.
I have received His Strength.
Spirits and beings of darkness shrink from the consciousness of my righteousness in Christ. They know that I am their master, and they fear me.
I feed on the bread of the Mighty-the Word of God. I digest it until my whole being is saturated with His Life, it makes me victorious, fills me with victory, gives me the sense of oneness with Him. “He is with you, but He is in you”; and I become conscious of His indwelling presence everyday as I meditate upon Him. (John 14:17.)
