"My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand." John 10:27-28 BSB
On March 29, Bankrate published an article titled, "Best life insurance for runners" in which they asked the following question, "Can being a runner impact life insurance rates?" And their answer? If you are a runner, you might assume you will pay well below the average cost of life insurance. After all, the best life insurance companies look at your overall wellness when they underwrite your policy and set your rate. And since running generally makes you healthier, it should help life insurance providers offer you lower premiums. Or at least, you might guess that is the case... Ultimately, because running could positively impact your health, some life insurance companies offer lower rates on life insurance for runners. So what's the takeaway from all this? Being a runner doesn't necessarily mean that you will get lower life insurance rates only that you could get lower life insurance rates. Kind of confusing isn't it?
Thankfully though, there's nothing confusing about the life insurance that Jesus provides; life insurance that doesn't promise a payout of money to the policy holders' survivors but eternal life to the policy holder, or the one who places their trust in Him. And unlike conventional life insurance that can be canceled, "no one can snatch" or cancel the believer's benefits. Jesus was clear that He knows those who listen to His voice and follow Him and "they will never perish." And the best part? This life insurance has no “rate” but is free to all those who choose to follow Christ.
In light of all that, let me ask you this question my friend. If you were to die today, do you know where you would spend eternity? If not, I invite you to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior right now that you, too, might know the sound of His voice and receive the eternal life that only He can provide—something, which I can assure you, is a payout greater and more certain than that of any life insurance policy this world could ever offer.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that eternal life is only found in You. Remind us how short life is Lord and that those who don't know Your voice will perish and spend eternity in hell, apart from you. Let that thought make us bold in sharing the Good News with others before it's too late. It's in Your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
