Did you know they have attributed two miracles to Mother Teresa to grant her Sainthood? In John 20: 30-31 we have the purpose of the book of John.

John 20: 31
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3: 14-17
What a promise! By believing in Jesus you will have life eternal life, a life with Jesus. Eternal life starts now it does not start when we die. Heaven is real, do you have your rese.rvation? Jesus says in John 14: 1-2
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus there is something about that name.
Your parents with much care gave you your name. Our name from God is daughter, saint, beloved, and chosen when we ask Jesus to be our Savior. We have life in his name.
Mother Teresa is given credit for the woman who had a stomach tumor that disappeared and a man who had a brain abscess that woke up from his coma. She is loved and respected, but Jesus is honored and this life verse is important because we must believe in Jesus as Messiah and as God’s son, we must believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Beloved, what miracles have you seen in your life? Are you assured of your salvation?
Life Lesson: We need Jesus as our Savior. Heaven is real, do you have your reservation?
