1 John 5:12–Whoever Has the Son Has Life

1 John 5:12: "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son does not have life."

In truth, all theology points to Christ Jesus.  If it does not, to be sure, it will ultimately be found to be anemic and wanting.  What this means, quite plainly, is that our spirituality our and our eternal livelihood rests solely in the Son of God, Jesus of Nazarene.  No other religion of any repute can make this claim, but this is, it turns out, the foundational claim of Christianity: Jesus is God in His very nature.

This is the basis for Christianity.  Thus the irreducible backdrop by which all theology finds its support is not a set of assertions or theological propositions; it is a relationship with the Son of God, Christ Jesus.  Not only should we strive to never forget this truth, we should so let it seep into every molecule of our beings that we would live every moment in praise to the God who His through faith in His Son.

Amen!
