An Everlasting Covenant6/1/2025 LIVE AGAIN!
Terry R. Baughman “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14 NKJ). Eternal. Forever. No end. Never thirst. Jesus gave a promise that there would be no limits to this new covenant. The life He came to give would be an everlasting fountain of living water. It was more than a taste, a cupful, or a temporary stream; He said it would be a fountain forever springing forth. This promise must have seemed beyond the scale of imagination. What could possibly be such a fountain, so continual as to never be diminished? Yet, Jesus repeated the promises on other occasions. He said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly,” and, “Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 10:10; 3:15 NKJ). He assured His followers, “He who believes in Me has everlasting life” (John 6:47 NKJ). Whoever believes. Anyone. Everyone. There are no exclusions to His promises of eternal life. Anyone can come and follow Him. Everyone has a promise beyond the limitations of this world, everlasting life. The Gospel is universal. All can respond and be saved. Peter declared that, “Through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:43). This promise is for all time, everywhere, “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” (See Acts 2:38-39.) What a hope we have in this covenant, the New Covenant provided by Jesus through the sacrifice of His blood, “the blood of the everlasting covenant” (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 13:20 NKJ). The message has been spread around the world. The truth is still being proclaimed and eternal life is still our promise! Theme passage: “Soon I will leave this world and they will see me no longer, but you will see me, because I will live again, and you will come alive too. So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with me, for I will be living in you” (John 14:19-20 TPT).
