Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16:11)
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (1 John 5:11)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Full life for eternal life

Eternal life is the promise of promises for the repentant sinner and is only found in Christ. The conviction of eternal life brings fullness of life, which includes the deserts of Christ where God manifests Himself to remind us of His greatness. To feel the fullness of life in Christ, one must go through the Jordan of His sufferings and swim fiercely to the other shore where grace extends its hand. Eternal life must become a reality in the Christian mind and heart, convinced that the path will not be easy but brings blessing and full life. The fullness in Christ is the fullness of life, which points to eternity. Read more...

As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions, we go through deserts and trials, but with the certainty that God lifts us up and sustains us in our race towards eternity.

Betty Casanova: God has given us the tools in His word to remain alive in His presence and walk in this world hand in His hand. He promised that wherever I walk, He is there, and Jesus promised us that when we repent and accept Him in our hearts, He lives inside of our hearts, which means that what we have is a double blessing. The Father walks by our side and the Son lives in us, and if we are convinced and feel His presence inside and out (we are complete with the Father-Son and Holy Spirit Trinity) and every day we learn more about Him, we are making a way for an eternal life with Him when He calls us and a life of fullness of joy in the world, always seeking His kingdom and His justice to live in the world in holiness and focused on working as good citizens of the Kingdom so that His Kingdom is established in the world. We have to learn to love the world as God loved us, who gave us His only begotten Son for eternal life.
Betty, what beautiful reflections you share about the presence and love of God in our lives! It is inspiring to see how you recognize the blessings we receive when we walk hand in hand with the Father, with the Son living in our hearts and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As you mention, when we are convinced and feel the presence of the Trinity in us, we experience a fullness that drives us to seek His kingdom and justice in this world. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas points out, life in Christ leads us to live in fullness, focused on working for the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth. Loving as God loved the world, giving His Son for eternal life, is the greatest example of love that we can follow. May your love for God be reflected in every action and may your walk in His presence be a light for those around you. May the grace of God continue to strengthen you in your faith and in your work as a citizen of the Kingdom! God bless you, Betty! 🙏❤️
