Simple Math

If you encounter a Christian evangelist, you might hear that:

Jesus = Life

That refers to a joyous and eternal spiritual life that is not terminated when your physical life ends.  Jesus repeatedly made the promise of eternal life to those who “believe” in Him.

Now, let us apply the simplest of mathematical principles here.  If Jesus = Life, then the inverse is true:

Life = Jesus

If we believe in Jesus, we will naturally develop an interest in His Word … what He said and what He did.  If we then begin to follow His Word … we will experience a life that is illuminated by that Word, shaped by that Word, and guided by that Word.

Jesus = Life is not only an eternal promise; it is also an immediate one. Believing in …  and following Jesus … will immediately change your approach to life, your perceptions, your perspective, even your desires.

I invite you to apply this simple mathematical truth to your life.  Believe that Jesus = Life and observe that, with your honest commitment, you will soon discover that the inverse is also true, Life = Jesus.
