GOSPEL NUGGET #543


The Last Will And Testament Of The Lord Jesus Christ

For hundreds of years, after the death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus to heaven, people have been resting their hope upon a set of documents known today as the New Testament.

In law, the word "testament" refers to a document communicating the person's final wishes pertaining to the disposition and distribution of his properties after he dies.

When the Lord Jesus left this earth to return to His Father in heaven, He gave and handed down to mankind the possession of eternal life and salvation which a sinner could have, provided that he or she fulfills a certain condition.

John 20:31 says that "...these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."

The testator (the Lord Jesus Christ) says that you can possess His salvation and eternal life if you put your trust in Him and what He did on the cross. There is so much more. God the Father has a lot in store for Him in the future and you can be His co-heir if you accept the condition that He has set in His last will and testament.

Have you read His last will and testament (the NT)? Have you fulfilled the condition?
